“This is the spirit of our institutions: I have listened to the French people. Now is the time for clarification. Dissolution is the clearest, most radical and strongest gesture. A gesture of great confidence in the French people.” Macron told Le Figaro he did not think the far right could repeat its European success in a domestic election.
“The president must commit himself, it’s his correct place: the future of the republic, the institutions, the country and Europe are at stake.”
