The leaders of France’s opposition parties say a 12-hour meeting with President Emmanuel Macron that ended in the early hours of Thursday morning left them unconvinced of his efforts to forge unity on issues dividing the nation. Macron had been hoping the exercise would help break the deadlock of a hung parliament.
Unsurprisingly, no grand agreement was announced after the end of the meeting between Macron, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne, and the 11 heads of France's political parties in parliament.
