French President Emmanuel Macron has dissolved the lower house of parliament and announced fresh elections after his party's poor performance in the EU elections. His party was defeated by the far-right National Rally.
He might be attempting Rally around the flag effect using the threat of rising far right power to gain more seats for his own party in the French parliament. Probably hoping voters of other parties / dormant voters to rally for the vote.
