Macron Dissolves French Parliament and Calls a Snap Election After Defeat in E.U. Vote

President Emmanuel Macron dissolved the lower house of France's parliament in a surprise announcement sending voters back to the polls in the coming weeks to choose lawmakers, after his party was handed a humbling defeat by the far-right in the European elections Sunday.

It's not just America that doesn't want what's being pushed. It's the world.

If voting actually made a difference, we wouldn't be allowed to do it.

"We LOVE Democracy!!!" Unless Democracy turns against us and we don't get the votes.... ROFLMFAO

Take note: He wouldn’t have done it if he didn’t have supporters. Fascist dictators are all the same, no matter where they reside.

[BicpsGunz]

Good, let France take their country back!

[banditkitty]

France, it may be time to drag some leaders out by their hair. Remember the French Revolution!

[barneshomestead]

They beat his ass and he CAN'T STAND IT...MAY HE BE CRUSHED & HIS EFFORTS FAIL!

[stealthbomber]

France, you had better see this through, that dictator has no intentions of giving up his dictatorship.

a reminder that macron was one of several world leaders who claimed trump was a threat to democracy

[GenXSkeptic]

This is funny. Don’t like the results? Well, heck, just trash that whole idea. Can’t wait to what happens if Biden isn’t reelected. Oh wait, we are already in the midst of that.

Everybody is going full on banana republic while claiming to "defend democracy."

[redavni]

The WEF will not allow democracy to get in their way. The next time you are wondering why we like guns so much in America, take a moment to remember when voting mattered in your country.

I thought only dictators could dissolve parliaments?
Let me think… Yeah, Hitler did that, so did Mao, just to name a few.
I would like to think that will never happen in America, but at this point, I wouldn’t bet against anything

[andrewcampbell]

You can't dissolve something like this just because you loss...

[paddycake]

The last time France didn't have a parliament the French revolution was the result. Is this part 2 baguette boogaloo?

[howard]

Oh that precious democracy slipping away

[lorrainemounts]

This gentleman is very succint in his description of Macron when he describes him as an arrogant narcissistic person. He read my mind. 💯

Dear friends in France:
Please stay strong and don't get bullied...take your country back and ignore any insults thrown at you...
you know they're not true.
Viva la France.
Your friends in liberty...
🥰🇺🇸🙏

How many of our people died over there to save them from a dictator 80 years ago? This is shameful.

A prelude to what is going to happen in this country in November?
