Macron dissolved the French parliament and called for fresh parliamentary elections after a heavy defeat in the European elections by Marine Le Pen's far-right party Rassemblement National.
The position of the president is not directly affected by the new elections in France. Macron's reelection in 2022 mandates him until 2027, but the parliamentary election results will significantly impact his remaining three years.
Since 2022, Macron's centrist group has been the largest in parliament, followed by a fragmented left-wing coalition and Le Pen's RN party. The right-wing Les Republicains, now reduced, hold enough MPs to influence decisions.
