Marine Le Pen’s far-right party handily beat Emmanuel Macron’s party in European Parliament elections
PARIS—French President Emmanuel Macron said he was dissolving France’s National Assembly in a surprise move that scrambled the country’s political firmament Sunday after Marine Le Pen’s far-right party trounced his forces in European elections.
Macron said the country will hold new elections for the lower house of the French parliament on June 30 and July 7, a high-stakes maneuver that stunned a nation already reeling from projections based on early ballot counts for Sunday’s elections for the European Parliament. The projections showed National Rally garnering around 31% of the vote, the highest score ever for the far-right party in European elections, and twice the support for Macron’s Renaissance Party.

There's been a massive upsurge for these right-leaning populist parties across Europe.
Change is in the air it seems.

Maybe my comprehension is off today, but the way I read that makes it sound like he didn't like the outcome of the election so he scrapped the results and is holding a new one?
Is that foreshadowing our November election?
Something like there were so many from the right who cheated to get Trump back in office, so we void that vote and do it again?
You know, Biden taking yet another one of Trumps moves? (We all saw the absolute chaos the day Biden was sworn in. It took 7 secret service agents to get Trumps hand off the oval office door knob)
