Macron Calls for Compromise After Inconclusive French Election

Published: 2024-07-10

French President Emmanuel Macron has called for political compromise in a letter to the French people following inconclusive legislative elections.

With no party securing a clear majority, Macron emphasized that 'no one won' and urged political forces to build a 'broad gathering' to address the nation's challenges.

The president stated he would delay naming a new prime minister to allow time for political forces to forge compromises.

Macron excluded far-right and far-left parties from potential coalitions, focusing on what he terms the 'republican arc.

' He stressed the need for a new French political culture that embraces coalition-building, similar to other European countries.
