Macron reveals fresh faces for parliamentary election





The coming of the French president Emmanuel Macron’s centrist party on Thursday unveiled 428 candidates for June’s general election, half whom are new to politics in line with Macron’s promise to rejuvenate parliament.
The secretary general of Macron’s La Republique en Marche (Republic on the Move), Richard Ferrand, said that 52 percent of the candidates chosen from more than 19,000 applicants had “never held elected office” and that 214 were women.
“We aim to build a majority for change,” Ferrand said.
