Macron disbands French National Assembly, schedules fresh polls for June 30th.
"This decision carries a significant amount of weight, but it's ultimately an act of trust," Macron stressed. During the European elections, the right-wing populist RN (National Rally) is estimated to have garnered roughly 32% of the votes. This is more than double the votes received by the government coalition, which is estimated to have secured around 15%. The Socialists are close behind with a mere one-point difference.
