Is Emmanuel Macron dissolving the National Assembly again? The head of state will find the power to dissolve the lower room next week. When asked about the possibility that he will soon use this power, the president gets in touch this Friday, July 4, believing that “the only thing to have” is that “people’s life is improving.”
“The French want everyone to work together, that we have concrete results so that people’s life improve. This is the only thing to have,” said the head of state outside a trip to Saint-Germain-en-Laye (Yvelines).
On June 9, 2024, on the night of the European elections won widely by the extreme right, the Head of State announced the citation of the first legislative elections, to everyone’s surprise. A month later, the result of the vote was final: an exploited parliament, without the majority, which inaugurated one of the most serious political crises of the fifth republic and condemned the country to a mixture of instability and immobility.
Half of the French for a solution
Article 12 of the Constitution establishes that “a new solution cannot be made in the early elections of the following year.” Last June, the president explained that his “desire” was “that there was no other dissolution.”
“But my habit is not depriving myself of constitutional power,” he had warned, not excluding dissolve “if political parties decided (…) block the country.”
On the French side, half want Emmanuel Macron to use his dissolution power in the coming months, while 56% want the government of François Bayrou be invested by a Motion of censureaccording to a IFOP fiducial survey for Sud radio.
