French President Emmanuel Macron has defended his decision to call snap parliamentary elections following his party's defeat in the European parliamentary vote. Macron emphasized that voters will choose the 'progressive bloc' over the far-right in the upcoming elections.
Legislative elections in France determine the composition of the parliament, not the presidency. Macron, who has a mandate until 2027, expressed confidence in the French people and urged moderate politicians to unite with his centrist alliance to counter the far-right.
