The Right has the ear of the people. A people who have all had it with the Marxism and Globalism being rammed down their throats. Macron’s days are numbered.
Emmanuel Macron has been cautioned by a former French president about the potential repercussions of his decision to call for snap elections. The critique points to a risk of plunging France into chaos, especially as Macron’s centrist party currently ranks third in opinion polls, significantly trailing behind the so-called far-right National Rally.
BREAKING: French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that he's dissolving the national assembly and calls for snap elections on June 30 and July 7.

Nicolas Sarkozy, who served as the French president from 2007 to 2012, expressed concerns about the dissolution of the national assembly, labeling it a “major risk” that could lead to difficult-to-resolve chaos. Sarkozy’s critique highlighted the irony in Macron’s justification for the elections, which he framed as “giving the floor to the French people.” Sarkozy pointed out that this had already been done in the recent European elections where more than 25 million French citizens voted, delivering a significant blow to Macron’s party.
The upcoming elections for a new national assembly, scheduled for June 30 and July 7, were called by Macron three years ahead of the usual schedule, which has stirred significant political debate. Recent polls, including one from Ifop, show the National Rally leading with a 35% vote share, followed by the New Popular Front—a coalition of left-wing parties—at 26%, and Macron’s Renaissance party at 19%.
Lionel Jospin, another former prime minister, echoed concerns about the snap elections, criticizing them as “not responsible” and suggesting they could pave the way for the far-right to gain power. Jospin accused Macron of unilaterally deciding without consulting other key political figures, which he viewed as a breach of responsible governance.
French Patriots, National Rally, are on course for power in France.
The path of sensible Patriotic Nationalism is the correct and politically profitable way to go.
Remember, in France the electoral system is not a system of proportional representation.https://t.co/3Opx19fKbw

Amidst this political turbulence, former president François Hollande announced his decision to run again for the national assembly, describing his move as a response to an exceptional situation and emphasizing his desire to serve, rather than personal ambition. His announcement was met with a reserved acknowledgment from the head of the Socialist party’s election commission.
Marine Le Pen of the National Rally commented on the political dynamics, criticizing the so-called “Islamo-leftist bloc” and outlining her stance towards potential institutional changes depending on the election outcomes. She stated her respect for institutions and clarified that her party would not call for Macron’s resignation, but instead anticipated a possible cohabitation scenario.
This series of events marks a critical juncture in French politics, where the decision to hold snap elections could redefine the political landscape, potentially altering the balance of power and setting the stage for significant shifts in governance.
