"Emmanuel Macron, the French president, has announced that he is dissolving the national assembly, and calling for legislative elections on June 30 and July 7.

The French president said that he can’t pretend nothing has happened, that the outcome of the EU election is not good for his government and that the rise of nationalists is a danger for France and Europe."

No, it isn't. His party "lost" in the EU parliamentary elections, not those of the national parliament. It's a very bold and bizarre strategy.

It's bold but not bizarre. It's all about confidence in the next election. Better to have an election when you think you can still win than when you think you wont
