He added that urgent measures would have to be taken this summer.In last Sunday's election to the 577-seat French lower house, Macron's centrist alliance Together won 245 seats, the leftist NUPES coalition led by secured 131 seats and the right-wing National Rally party won the third-largest number of seats, 89.
