Default No choice ...

If you respect democracy, you listen to your people. Hopefully he did ...

But also, shame to see my country, "driving" EU on this dark lane ...

I love EU,

I know little of French politics.

However it could be he's looking forward to the 2027 Presidential elections possibly.

Macron is in his last years as President now, these are parliamentary elections.
It may well be opposition to him, gets strengthened in these elections.
However possibly making the parliament less popular in a few years time

He recently appointed Gabriel Attal as Prime Minister.
He is I understand quite popular.
Also is seen as a successor to Macron as President.

So calling this election may be a means to an easier door opened for Attal in 2027.
If the parliament becomes more unpopular.

If I was French and lived in France I'd have voted for Macron, his Party and Attal in 2027 if he runs then.

Hi joeysteele,

Macron cannot be President in 2027, as he allready made 2 "mandas" (we call it), let's say "contracts".
He's not allowed to do a third one in a row.

i think macron is calling the election now, before the right get even more popular and take power. He is gambling that the left/middle can still win at this point in time

Yes, I knew that thank.you.

Is it right that there is a view the new PM Gabriel Attal as I mentioned would likely run for President in 2027 however.

Thank you for your response.
I really appreciate it.

Yes, he is under pressure.


94% voted for her party



[French far-right leader Marine Le Pen
was delighted to accept Mr Macron´s challenge]


Sunday marked the final day of polling in the EU.


[Far-right parties have rattled
the traditional powers in
the European Union with major gains
in parliamentary seats,
dealing an especially humiliating defeat
to French President Emmanuel Macron,
who called snap legislative elections.

Some ballots in the vote for the
European Parliament are still being counted,
but the outcome shows the 27-nation
bloc’s parliamentary membership has
clearly shifted to the right.]

Her policies:

• Anti-immigration

• Firm support of Israel

• Promised to Protect French Jews

• Economic Nationalism

• Calls for De-Islamization of France

• Opposes Globalization

• Promote Patriotism & French Culture

• Tough Border Controls

[Marine Le Pen says her party is
'ready to take power' as
French President Macron dissolves Parliament
and calls snap election after his coalition
was trounced by the far-Right in EU vote

Emmanuel Macron has called a
snap election in the face of a loss to
the far-Right
Marine le Pen's National Rally party swept
up a mass of EU election votes
Much of Europe appears to be swinging
in the same rightward trajectory]
