The first round of early elections will take place on June 30, the second on July 7, Le Monde reports.
The point is that Macron made this decision after his defeat in the European Parliament elections.
Macron announced that he was dissolving the French parliament and calling new elections.
He made this decision against the backdrop of the results of the European Parliament elections. According to the exit polls, his Revival party received second place. Instead, Marine Le Pen’s pro-Russian National Rally party won.
Le Pen’s party received about 33% of the vote, Macron’s Renaissance party – 15%.
I have decided to give you back the choice of your parliamentary future. This decision is serious, difficult, but, above all, it is an act of trust,” Macron noted.
The day before, the leader of the French far-right National Rally party (RN), Jordan Bardella, called on Macron to dissolve parliament and call parliamentary elections after the president’s alliance suffered a serious defeat in the European elections.
The President cannot turn a deaf ear to the message the French are conveying. We ask that he take this new political situation into account and return to the French people and organize new parliamentary elections,” Bardella said.
The European People’s Party is leading in the European Parliament elections, they will be approximately 181 out of 720. This is stated in the Forecast of the European Parliament. Ursula von der Leyen is the UST candidate for the post of head of the European Commission.
According to exit polls, the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats will remain the second largest party, with about 135 seats. The liberal union “Renewing Europe” will receive approximately 82 seats in the European Parliament.
