Macron Dissolves Parliament, Calls Snap Election
National Assembly to be Dissolved, New Elections to be Held in June
Macron's Move Comes Amidst Political Turmoil
French President Emmanuel Macron, facing political turmoil and losing support, has dissolved the country's parliament, the National Assembly. The move, which came as a surprise despite the recent European election defeat, has triggered a snap election that will be held in June.
Macron's announcement comes amidst a time of political upheaval in France, with the rise of the far-right National Rally (RN) led by Marine Le Pen. Le Pen, who has her eyes set on the 2027 presidential election, has seen her party gain ground in recent elections.
By dissolving the National Assembly, Macron is aiming to consolidate his power and regain control over his domestic agenda. However, the move is risky, as his party may lose its majority in the new parliament.
