Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, “whatever the result” will continue his mandate, French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal told the newspaper Le Parisien, in the context of the legislative elections, which will hold their first round in a week.
Polls indicate that the far-right National Agrupation (RN) party leads voting intentions, followed by the left-wing Popular Front bloc, relegating the ruling party to third place.
Attal expressed that the leader of RN, Marine Le Pen, seeks to transform these legislative elections into a kind of presidential election, scenarios that caused a wave of speculation in the media and social networks about Macron’s resignation, a hypothesis that the president himself rejected hiding behind the French Constitution.
Meanwhile, within the ranks of the ruling Renaissance party, and its allies, they question whether dissolving the National Assembly was correct, a provision that Macron defends, which returned to the people their power to choose.
The situation remains uncertain. The election result will be crucial for France’s political future.
