Amidst a political crisis, France continues to swirl with Macron’s efforts to forge alliances, as the early parliamentary elections have caused strong reactions in the country’s political landscape, weakening the power of the French president, according to Bloomberg.

Former European Commission President Jacques Delors died on Wednesday at the age of 98.

A pivotal figure in European politics, Delors served as France's Finance Minister under François Mitterrand in 1981 and later became a key architect of European integration.
