French opposition tells ‘arrogant’ Macron: Compromise to win support

PARIS, June 21 —French opposition leaders told beleaguered President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday that they would not make life easy for him as he sought a way to avoid political paralysis after this weekend's election setback in parliament.

It will not be easy. The election result may herald an era of political instability not seen for decades in France. However, the conservatives, whose past presidents include Nicolas Sarkozy and Jacques Chirac, have so far ruled out a formal German-style coalition pact. Macron has not spoken publicly since the election. Francois Bayrou, a close, center-right ally, said after meeting Macron that the president was"thinking things through" and that it would take time.

"We have had a so-called Jupiterian period when the president decided alone and where he was not accountable to anyone," Faure told reporters.
