'Extreme gamble': France's Macron shocks nation by dissolving parliament • FRANCE 24 English

PRESS REVIEW – Monday, June 10: French President Emmanuel Macron stuns the country by announcing the dissolution of parliament, after his party is trounced by the far-right National Rally in the European elections. The papers in France are calling it an extraordinary gamble. The news also makes a splash internationally, with one German paper calling for Chancellor Olaf Scholz to follow in Macron's footsteps.

[zoltankurcz]

Still hanging on....we are the rulers...where is the democracy!!!!

[whoflungdung]

Why does he call a lefty party "left leaning" yet anyone "right leaning" far right? This is the last time I click on this news channel. I no longer click on the BBC, Channel 4, ITV or Sky. These news companies cause so much division in society...

Ukraine is more important than any of this event

Bob Mercer has headed The Her*tage Foundation, and his daughter Rebecca was with Cambridge An*lytica, thus I ask:
Is there a European equivalence to Pr*ject 2025?

Of all Macron's bad ideas this is the 2nd worst behind being pro-choice.
