09.53 CESTFrench left pushes back against Macron’s messaging
Emmanuel Macron, the French president, said in a letter to the public yesterday that “no political force has a sufficient majority, and the blocs that have emerged are all minorities.”
The president called on all parties “that identify with republican institutions, rule of law, parliamentarianism, a pro-European stance and French independence to have a sincere, loyal dialogue to build a solid – necessarily plural – majority for the country.”
But his letter fuelled further debate.
Sandrine Rousseau, from an Ecologists, said the letter was “worrying.”
“It is the letter of someone who does not accept defeat,” she said.
Olivier Faure, first secretary of the Socialist party, said this morning that “those who seek to divide the left are really seeking to ensure that the left never governs.”

J’ai fait le choix du rassemblement de la gauche depuis que je suis Premier secrétaire, et je n’en bougerai pas.
Ceux qui cherchent à diviser la gauche cherchent en réalité à ce que la gauche ne gouverne jamais.#Levenement pic.twitter.com/dzOJqO8RVj

09.39 CEST’It is time to rein in Viktor Orbán’s rogue presidency’: Renew Europe calls for action to stop Hungary
The head of the liberal Renew Europe group has called on the European Council to explore all means to stop Hungary’s ongoing presidency of the Council of the EU.
Hungary took over the rotating presidency on 1 July for a period of six months, but has the country’s prime minister, Viktor Orbán, has already fuelled controversy with a trip to visit Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
Valérie Hayer, the president of Renew Europe and an ally of the French president, Emmanuel Macron, said today that “the Hungarian prime minister is undermining positions adopted by the European Union and acting contrary to our interests and it has to stop.”
“It is time to rein in Viktor Orbán’s rogue presidency of the Council.,” she said, adding:
His pretend peace mission is a security threat, his isolated communication is only a smoke screen for his own interests and fails miserably. Russia’s recent attacks, including on a children’s hospital in Kyiv, 48h after a supposed peace mission, are simply sickening.
