French President Emmanuel Macron is set to hold a press conference this morning at 11am to unveil his battle plan following the European election debacle and in anticipation of the upcoming vote. Despite calls for his resignation, Macron has stated that he will not step down from the presidency regardless of the outcome of the legislative elections on June 30 and July 7.
Macron emphasized that the Constitution is clear on the role of the president and that his position is firm, regardless of the election results. He expressed his faith in the French people’s ability to make the right choice for themselves and future generations, emphasizing his desire to serve the country he loves. Following the dissolution of the National Assembly after the electoral setback in the European elections and the rise of far-right parties, Macron’s determination to continue leading France remains unwavering.
The recent European elections marked a shift in France’s political landscape, with pro-European parties representing a minority of voters for the first time since 1979. Eurosceptic parties from both sides gained majority support, indicating a changing political landscape in which immigration policies are becoming increasingly important. The election results also highlighted concerns over issues such as unemployment, security, and social inequality, which have been major issues in French politics for years.
