French President Emmanuel Macron
French President Emmanuel Macron called for early parliamentary elections on Sunday after his camp lost the National Assembly by a huge margin, Reuters writes.
French President Emmanuel Macron announced the dissolution of parliament and the calling of early elections after a shocking event in the European Parliament. In his statement, Macron stressed the need to renew the legislature to effectively respond to the challenges facing France and Europe.
National Rally Party leader Marine Le Pen responded to the announcement by saying: “We are ready to come to power.” Le Pen expressed confidence in the support of voters and emphasized her party’s readiness to take responsibility for leading the country.
This decision by Macron came as a surprise to many and caused widespread public and political discussion. Experts note that early elections could significantly change the political landscape in France, given the growing support for opposition parties.
Early elections will be scheduled for the coming months, and all major political forces have already begun active preparations for the election campaign. The upcoming campaign is expected to be tense and competitive given the current political instability and economic problems facing France.
