Political Uncertainty in France as Macron Calls for Snap Election

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced a snap election for the National Assembly, causing political uncertainty in the country and leaving European partners wondering about the future government of the second largest economy in the EU. Macron's centrist alliance faced a setback in the European elections on June 9, leading to the decision to dissolve the National Assembly in Paris. The upcoming parliamentary elections will involve 577 deputies, who must secure more than 50% of the votes in their constituencies in the first round on Sunday to be directly elected. If no candidate achieves this, a decisive second round will be held on July 7. The outcome of the election is difficult to predict due to the complex electoral system, and the future stability of the government remains uncertain.
