President Emmanuel Macron announced a snap election in France on June 9, dissolving the parliament in the wake of EU’s far-right shift. Gains by French far-right in European Parliament elections prompted a bruised Macron to make the sudden and shocking decision. Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally trounced Macron’s centrist alliance in the EU polls. Some analysts believe Macron’s "goal might be to bring an RN victory forward in time to expose the party’s lack of experience in government”.
