France held a state funeral ceremony for former Prime Minister Lionel Jospin, with President Emmanuel Macron leading the tribute to the deceased left-wing politician. Jospin will be buried at Montparnasse Cemetery in southern Paris. The socialist politician served as France's prime minister from 1997 to 2002 under President Jacques Chirac in a period of "cohabitation" between the center-right president and left-wing government.
