French Far-Right Party Achieves Historic Success in EU Elections, Macron Calls Snap National Vote
ai generated text
The European Parliament elections saw significant gains for far-right parties across the continent. In France, the Rassemblement National (RN) party led by Jordan Bardella performed exceptionally well, securing 31.5% of the votes and becoming the largest party in the country. This is a 40-year record for any French political party in European elections. French President Emmanuel Macron responded to his coalition's poor performance by dissolving the Assemblée Nationale and calling early legislative elections for June 30. His decision was seen as a gamble, given the strong showing of far-right parties in the European Parliament election.
The decision is serious and difficult, but it is above all an act of trust, trust in you, my dear compatriots.
Far-right parties, which in recent years have opposed so many of the advances made possible by our Europe, (...) are gaining ground across the continent.
For me, who has always considered that a united, strong and independent Europe is good for France, it's a situation that I cannot come to terms with.
France needs a clear majority in serenity and harmony.
I've heard your message, your concerns, and I won't leave them unanswered.
Far right parties ... are progressing everywhere in the continent. It is a situation to which I cannot resign myself.
I cannot act as if nothing had happened.
Don't be like the British who cried after Brexit.
We've done well because people have become more anti-European.
People are annoyed by so much bureaucracy from Brussels.
Let us never forget the damage done in Europe by nationalism and hate.
With this very large bloc of far-right parties, there can be an influence on climate policies, for example … Also, [the EU's] agriculture policies … and migration policies, which is a very important issue here in Germany and in the Netherlands.
Macronie is over. [Emmanuel Macron] won't get over this.
This historic election shows that when the people vote, the people win.
The French people have sent a very clear message. They no longer want a technocratic, out-of-touch European construction which results in a loss of influence, identity and freedom.
France has given its verdict and there is no appeal.
I am not against Europe. I am against the way Europe works now.
A wind of hope has risen in France, it is just beginning.
