The French President, Emmanuel Macronhas announced dissolution of the National Assembly and calling elections for June 30 and July 7 behind the defeat in the European elections this Sunday.
“At the end of this day I couldn’t keep looking the other way. To this situation is added the fever that has infected the public and parliamentary debate in our country,” Macron said in a televised address from the Elysée.
“That is why, after proceeding with the prior consultation of Article 12 of our Constitution, I have decided to return the word of our future parliamentarian through the vote,” he added.
Macron weighed the heavy setback of his list in last Sunday’s European elections (15%), which received half the support of that of the National Group of Marine Le Pen (about 30%), according to exit polls.
The new elections will take place just two years after those of June 2022, in which Renacimiento, the head of state’s party, lost its absolute majority, causing problems for the government as it seeks parliamentary partners to approve its reforms.

The leader of the far-right Marine Le Pen said yes ready “to take power” in parliamentary elections.
“We are ready to take power if the French give us their trust,” Le Pen assured her fevered followers after her party won just over 30% of the vote according to exit polls.
