French President Emmanuel Macron is hosting opposition leaders for two days of talks at the Elysée Palace starting Tuesday after his ruling coalition lost its absolute parliamentary majority in Sunday's vote. As is customary after an election rout, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne offered her resignation but Macron turned it down.
Going into the talks, Macron believed the government needed to "stay on task and act" and the president was seeking "constructive solutions" to the political deadlock in talks with opposition parties, said a presidential official, who asked not to be named.
