Bloomberg reported on Macron's plans to dissolve parliament in the fall and hold elections.

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.

On January 27, the head of the National Unification Party, Jordan Bardella, said that the dissolution of the French parliament was inevitable. The politician noted that only the return of the government to the people will make it possible to form a clear and stable majority for the country.

Prior to that, on January 12, Bloomberg, citing the results of an Ipsos poll, reported that Macron's approval rating had dropped to a six-year low and reached 21%. In the six months since June 2024, this figure has dropped by 12%.

In December 2024, the head of the parliamentary faction of the National Unification Party, Marine Le Pen, also suggested that early presidential elections could be held in France due to the unstable position of the country's leader. Le Pen noted that the reason for Macron's departure may not be his personal qualities, but a systemic crisis of power.
