The situation in the political arena of France continues to escalate
According to journalists, the opposition held a meeting a day after the French president announced early elections.
The main candidate for the European Parliament elections from the far-right Reconquista party, Marion Marechal, met on Monday with the de facto leader of the National Union, her aunt Marine Le Pen, and the president of this party, Jordan Bardella, to discuss a potential alliance, the report said.
Mareschal is actively trying to ensure that her new party merges with the old one.
She also repeatedly stated her desire to create a government coalition.
The politician also officially confirmed that she plans to hold meetings with a number of political leaders to "create a majority", without elaborating.
According to Le Pen, the "National Union" will be ready to refrain from nominating candidates against deputies from the conservative "Republicans" party if they reach an agreement with her party.
Macron dissolved the French parliament
On June 9, it became officially known that the French leader Emmanuel Macron had decided to terminate the parliament's powers early after the failure in the European elections.
The head of the republic noted that this result "is not good for the parties that protect Europe."
Nor does he hide that the far right is gaining ground across the continent.
I cannot act as if nothing has happened... That is why, after the consultation required by Article 12 of our Constitution, I have decided to once again give you the choice of our parliamentary future through a vote.
Emmanuel Macron
President of France
