France has a majoritarian system for parliamentary elections and faces a second round of elections on July 7. The situation could change.
Let’s remember that Macron unexpectedly announced early parliamentary elections after his party’s defeat in the European Parliament elections in early June. The French elected 577 representatives to the National Assembly, the lower house of parliament.
