French President Macron calls shock elections after far-right rout

French President Emmanuel Macron's bold move to call snap legislative elections following a defeat to Marine Le Pen's far-right party in the EU vote has sent shockwaves through France. The decision offers the far-right a significant chance at political power, jeopardizing Macron's presidency years before the term ends. If Le Pen's National Rally party secures a parliamentary majority, Macron could find himself with limited influence over domestic affairs. The lower house elections are scheduled for June 30, with a second-round vote on July 7, as Macron faces a pivotal moment in his political career.
