Snap Elections in France

MACRON ANNONCE LA DISSOLUTION DE L’ASSEMBLÉE

Après le score historique de l’extrême droite aux europeénnes, Emmanuel Macron convoque des élections législatives le 30 juin et le 7 juillet

Le Monde is reporting that due to the historic success of what is considered “the extreme right” in the European elections, French President Macron has dissolved the National Assembly in order to launch new elections at the end of June.

I suspect this may be in order to hold the elections before Russia defeats NATO and the people of France turn entirely against Clown World.

UPDATE: Macron tonight suffered a major defeat after Marine le Pen’s National Rally party took home a projected 31.5% of the vote following the country’s European Union elections. His Renaissance party meanwhile suffered one of the worst ever defeats for a party in French government, taking just 15.2% of France’s vote.
