 In the letter published in the French press, Macron urged political parties to come together and build a broad coalition for the country's future, but he made clear that did not include the far right or the far left. Far right icon Marine Le Pen called that rich after Macron's centrist party aligned with the left in the second round to block her party. Far left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon called Macron's letter the return of the royal veto over universal suffrage.
