French President Emmanuel Macron is exploring the possibility of dissolving parliament and holding snap elections in the fall of 2025 or 2026, Bloomberg reported on April 22.
The media notes that the French leader has been discussing such a decision with his close associates for several weeks. However, these conversations are only advisory in nature, and no final decision has been made.
If early elections do take place, this procedure may not only shake the relative stability in France, but also strengthen the position of the parliamentary faction of the right-wing National Unification party. After that, her deputies are likely to gain control of the government.
In December, Macron told party leaders that he would try to avoid early elections before the end of his second and final term in 2027. The French president's office declined to comment on the matter, but a person close to Macron said he did not intend to call early elections," the agency adds.
