France's Macron calls snap parliamentary election after Le Pen's far-right wins EU vote | DW News
French President Emanuel Macron announced Sunday he was dissolving the National Assembly and calling a snap election after his centrist alliance was trounced by the far-right National Rally in the European Parliament elections.
According to the first exit polls, the National Rally won around 32%, more than double Macron's pro-EU coalition, which received 15% of the vote.
The first round of France's parliamentary election will be held on June 30 and a second round is scheduled for July 7.
Macron's government was already short of a majority in parliament, resorting to the use of special constitutional powers to bypass the legislature and force through multiple high profile laws.
