French President Emmanuel Macron is rallying support from individuals who reject extremism in the upcoming snap elections following a disappointing European poll result. Macron emphasized the importance of coming together to build a common project beneficial to the country, urging those who can resist extreme ideologies to unite.
The president’s party, Renaissance, fell short with less than half of the far-right National Rally’s votes, prompting Macron to announce snap elections. He defended his decision to dissolve parliament, citing the need for a new approach in light of the challenges faced by the working population.
Macron criticized the conservatives for forming alliances with the far-right National Rally and the left-wing France Unbowed. He highlighted the importance of choosing between extreme alliances or his bloc, which offers a cohesive vision for the country.
Despite acknowledging imperfections, Macron pointed to achievements in job creation, energy transition, and international relations as evidence of his government’s success. As the elections approach, Macron is seeking support from those who prioritize unity and progress over divisive politics.
