Overview

• Macron is convening meetings with parliamentary groups to find common ground on reforms and bills.
• The meetings aim to make policy more effective and propose reforms to institutions.
• Macron wants to build bridges after being seen as aloof and top-down.
• Left-wing parties have rejected the outreach so far, while the right focuses on immigration.
• If Macron fails to bring out unifying proposals, the meetings may be seen as a political maneuver.
