Left-leaning French parliamentary faction makes first public appearance

Left-leaning lawmakers, who have defected to rob President Emmanuel Macron’s party of its outright majority in France’s National Assembly, make their first appearance as “Ecology, Democracy, Solidarity” (EDS). Seventeen members of Macron’s La Republique En Marche (LREM) party formed the new group to pursue greener policies, “modernise” the political system, and reduce social inequalities. IMAGES
