Sanchez to travel France for discussions with Macron over European parliament

Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez will travel to Paris on Monday to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron to analyse the results of the European parliamentary elections, the PM's office said. The two leaders will exchange views on the allocation of top jobs in the parliament when they meet in the Elysee Palace at 8 pm (1800 GMT), it said.

Sanchez's Socialist party (PSOE) finished first in Spain in the European election. Marine Le Pen's far-right Rassemblement National won most votes in France but the margin of victory over Macron's party was narrow.
