Macron's Diplomatic Efforts to Resolve French Political Deadlock

TL;DR
French President Emmanuel Macron met with leaders of all political parties, including his opponents, in an effort to break the deadlock of a hung parliament. Macron expressed a desire for open and direct discussions aimed at working together for the benefit of voters. The possibility of organizing referendums on various issues, such as immigration or education, was discussed. Macron's minority government has faced challenges since passing unpopular pension reforms earlier this year, and he is seeking to avoid further blockages by exploring alternative avenues for decision-making.
