On June 9, it became known that the French President had dissolved the National Assembly and set a date for early parliamentary elections.
The decision was made after the presidential Renaissance party was defeated in the European Parliament elections.
I am calling early parliamentary elections. The first round will take place on June 30, and the second on July 7,” a fragment of Macron’s statement from a televised address to the nation is quoted.
Macron announced the dissolution of the lower house of the French parliament.
This measure, he said, is necessary to form a parliamentary majority that would allow France “to act in calm and harmony.”
According to the BFMTV channel, the presidential Renaissance party suffered a heavy defeat in the elections to the European Parliament.
Two times fewer votes were given for her than for representatives of the opposition from the National Rally – 15.4% versus 32%, respectively.
Let us recall that on June 3, the French National Assembly rejected two votes of no confidence in the government, announced by deputies of two left-wing and one right-wing parties.
The opposition opposed budget cuts due to lower economic forecasts.
Earlier it became known that the West was participating in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
