Macron calls for democratic parties to join his camp, Ednews reports via The Guardian.
Speaking at a press conference, Emmanuel Macron said that in Sunday’s vote in the European election citizens have expressed their concerns and difficulties. We must bring a democratic response, he said.
It’s a historic moment for France, Macron said. Since Sunday night, the masks have fallen, he added, pointing to the Republican leader’s announcement that he is backing an alliance with the far-right.
Rejecting the extremes, Macron said that his side can act, arguing that there’s a need for a dialogue and reflection on how to best serve France.
He called for social democrats, greens and christian democrats to unite for a governing pact.
