On 9 June 2024, French President Emmanuel Macron announced the dissolution of the National Assembly.[1][2][3][4][5]

Background

Previous to the dissolution of the National Assembly, the Nahel Merzouk riots of 2023 and 2023 pension reform strikes had caused a period of major instability in France, and disdain against the current President and ruling government. Other older protests and riots such as the 2018 yellow vests protests against Macron and then the anti-lockdown protests, along with vaccine skepticism, all further reinforced the dislike of the government. And despite these older events not having permitted a Renaissance loss in the 2022 presidential and legislative elections, it is the combination of these recent events with them that culminated in the collapse of Renaissance votes in the 2024 European elections. Though, the loss in the European parliamentary elections had not affected the decision to dissolve the National Assembly as it had been decided previously. It was most likely due to the known far-right wave sweeping over France.
