| Description | PARIS — France’s conservatives have been thrown into crisis after a regional president broke ranks to form an alliance with President Emmanuel Macron’s party.
Renaud Muselier, the president of the southern Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, is expected to run for re-election in June on a joint ticket with Macron’s La République En Marche (LREM) party.
Under the deal, brokered by Prime Minister Jean Castex on Sunday, LREM will withdraw its own candidate for the election.
The move stunned the conservative Les Républicains, the once-dominant political force that has been struggling to rebuild after a crushing defeat in the last presidential election. |
