President Macron's 'gamble' could plunge France into chaos.

According to RT on June 30, Bloomberg reported that France is trying to understand what truly prompted President Emmanuel Macron to take the bold step of holding early parliamentary elections. Furthermore, this decision was made at the most inopportune time for the country.

"President Emmanuel Macron's election nightmare is plunging France into chaos," Bloomberg wrote.

Bloomberg suggests that by announcing the dissolution of the French National Assembly, President Macron declared a "fever," drowning out public debate and the National Assembly. His critics argue that he was the one who caused this "fever."

According to Bloomberg, President Macron called for early elections at what seemed like the worst possible time, with New Caledonia already in turmoil due to his suffrage reforms, and just days before the Paris Olympics. Furthermore, the vote would take place during the July holiday period, when half of the French population would be traveling, potentially leading to a large number of people casting blank ballots by absentee ballot.

Furthermore, the outcome of the snap election could jeopardize future aid flows to Ukraine.

Sky News reporter Adam Parsons commented that President Macron's "big gamble" with the early parliamentary elections seems likely to fail. According to him, opinion polls suggest that Marine Le Pen's National Rally party will lead in the upcoming vote, with the left-wing coalition likely in second place and President Macron's center-right party in third.

Previously, in the European Parliament elections held in early June 2024, the results showed that President Macron's party suffered a defeat to the right-wing coalition. Along with this, Macron was "humiliated by the scale of his defeat" and immediately announced the dissolution of Parliament and called for early elections.
