France is gearing up for its snap parliamentary election, with polls set to open on Sunday for the first round of voting. This election could potentially reshape the political landscape of the country and have significant implications for President Emmanuel Macron's leadership.
The election comes on the heels of Macron's Renaissance party suffering a defeat at the hands of the far-right National Rally in the recent European Parliament elections. In response to this setback, Macron made the bold decision to call for a snap election, which is the first of its kind in France since 1997.
