| Description | France's Socialist Party and the hard-left La France Insoumise (LFI) agreed in principle on Wednesday to run together in June parliamentary elections and try to deprive newly re-elected President Emmanuel Macron of a majority.
If confirmed, the coalition pact, which the Greens and Communists approved earlier this week, will be the first time the French left has united in 20 years - but under the helm of the eurosceptic, leftist LFI this time around.
"We want to have lawmakers in a majority of constituencies, to prevent Emmanuel Macron from continuing his unfair and brutal policy...and defeat the far right," the Socialists and LFI said in a joint statement after days of difficult talks. |
