French President Emmanuel Macron's term will last until 2027, but he decided to dissolve the French parliament. The politician expressed a lot of proactive and serious ideas. Therefore, after the elections to the European Parliament, I did not want to seem like a “lame duck” for the next 2.5 years.

When the main message of the “National Rally” Marin Le Pen would say that “you are afraid to hold elections, the people of France are not for you.” This opinion 24 Channel was expressed by political scientist and head of the Center for Analysis and Strategies Igor Chalenko, noting that this would allow the far right to increase an order of magnitude more of their own supporters not on ideological grounds, but on protest ones .

Why the election result in France may not be in favor of Ukraine

According to the political scientist, on June 9, French President Emmanuel Macron dissolved the National Assembly – the French parliament. The politician took this step after losing the elections to the European Parliament. Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally gained about 33%, Macron's party – 15%, socialists – 14%.

Mr. Macron chose from worse to worse, he had to choose the first option. For Ukraine, this situation is extremely painful,” noted Igor Chalenko.

After all, the president and prime minister will be from different parties, no matter what the future coalition formed. Taking this into account, aid to Ukraine may be slowed down precisely because of internal bureaucratic processes in France. The adoption of certain political decisions may also be shaken.

We have already heard from Jordan Bardella (Deputy Chairman of the National Association – Channel 24) that they they want to cancel permission for Ukraine to use long-range weapons on Russian territory. Marine Le Pen repeated the same thing the other day. This is even a tactical risk if the National Rally is able to agree on a coalition with someone and Bardella becomes prime minister, said the head of the Center for Analysis and Strategies.

Who won the parliamentary elections in France

According to the results of the second round of parliamentary elections in France, the New Popular Front party is in first place, followed by the presidential party Emmanuel Macron's coalition “Together!”, in third place is the far-right “National Rally”.

So the “New Popular Front” received a total of 182 parliamentary mandates in parliament. The coalition “Together!” – 168 seats and the “National Rally” – 143.

There are 577 seats in the French parliament. Accordingly, the remaining ones were distributed among candidates not from coalitions, among them there are also individual representatives of the “right” and “left” forces.
