French President Emmanuel Macron has postponed to Wednesday a news conference following his party's crushing defeat by the far right in European elections, an aide said.
The conference, initially scheduled for Tuesday, will now take place on Wednesday afternoon, an aide said asking not to be named, adding that since Macron's call for snap elections, a political realignment was under way between "Republican forces on one side and extremist forces on the other".
