French President Emmanuel Macron has dissolved the country’s National Assembly and called for snap legislative elections after suffering a major defeat in the European Parliament election. Macron acknowledged the party’s defeat in the EU parliamentary elections and stated that he would not leave the concerns raised by the voters unanswered. The announcement came shortly after projected results from France put the far-right National Rally party of Marine Le Pen well ahead in the European Union’s parliamentary election. Many experts believe that calling a snap election attracts a massive political risk for Macron since his party could suffer more losses.
