Spain Agrees Common Front With Macron as EU Horsetrading Starts

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and French President Emmanuel Macron agreed to work together closely as negotiations begin in earnest over the next European Commission, a Spanish official said.

At a dinner on Monday in Paris, the two leaders agreed to push for social democrats and liberals to be included among the European Union’s senior officials after the conservative European People’s Party saw its presence diminished in Sunday’s elections for the EU Parliament, the official said.
