Re-elected French president seeking coalition of the centre to see off threats from Marine Le Pen and leftwing alliance
Emmanuel Macron’s centrist party, La République En Marche, is changing its name to Renaissance as the French president attempts to win a ruling majority in parliament for his second term in office.
