France’s Macron Faces Parliament Battle Over Pro-Business Agenda

PARIS—President Emmanuel Macron’s pro-business agenda appeared in jeopardy Tuesday after France’s conservative party Les Républicains rejected the idea of an alliance with the French leader to form a majority in Parliament.

Mr. Macron’s centrist party, Renaissance, and its allies lost their majority in the National Assembly in Sunday’s parliamentary elections after losing seats to the far right and the far left. An alliance with Les Républicains would allow Mr. Macron to retain the commanding majority that allowed the French leader to steamroll the opposition during his first term.
