PARIS, Aug 27 (Reuters) - France's Socialists and Greens will not participate in
further talks with President Emmanuel Macron to find a way out of political
deadlock, their leaders said on Tuesday, calling on their supporters to hold
peaceful protests instead.
Macron slammed the door on a potential leftist government on Monday, saying it
would be immediately removed from power by a majority of lawmakers from other
camps. Instead, he embarked on another round of talks with party leaders on
Tuesday.

But facing a hung parliament in which each of the three almost equal groupings -
the left, Macron's centrist bloc and the far-right National Rally - have ruled
out forming a coalition, the president appeared to be back to square one.
"This election is being stolen from us," Green party chief Marine Tondelier told
local radio.
"We're not going to continue these sham consultations with a president who
doesn't listen anyway ... and is obsessed with keeping control. He's not looking
for a solution, he's trying to obstruct it," Tondelier said.

Socialist Party president Olivier Faure told France 2 television he would not
engage in what he called a "parody of democracy" now the prospect of a
leftist-led government was off the table.
The LFI, a hard-left party within the leftist New Popular Front (NFP) alliance
that won the most seats in a snap parliamentary election this summer, called for
a mass protest against Macron on Sept. 7.
NFP leaders have repeatedly asserted that France's next prime minister should
come from their ranks, but Macron has ignored their claims. Macron, a
pro-business centrist, thinks the balance of power lies more with the centre or
centre-right.

   As the cage holding an endangered Formosan black bear swung open
   conservationists blasted gunshots and air horns to ensure the frightened
   young bear disappeared quickly into the mountains of central Taiwan,
   hopefully far from human contact.
