“DISSOLUTION OF THE NAZONAL ASSEMBLY ACT OF TRUST TOWARDS THE PEOPLE”

The decision to dissolve the National Assembly and return to the vote is “serious, heavy, but it is above all an act of trust. Trust in you, my dear compatriots, in the ability of the French people to make the right choice for ourselves and for future generations. Confidence in our democracy.” French President Emmanuel Macron says so in a speech to the nation after the first results of the European elections.

“RISE-NATIONALISTS DANGER FOR US AND FOR EUROPE”

“The rise of nationalists and demagogues is a danger for our nation, but also for our Europe, for France’s place in Europe and in the world. And I say this even if we have just celebrated the landing in Normandy with the whole world and even if, in a few weeks, we will have to welcome the world to the Olympic and Paralympic Games”. This was announced by French President Emmanuel Macron in a speech to the nation after the first results of the European elections which saw the clear affirmation of the right led by Marine Le Pen.
“The far right is both the impoverishment of the French and the downgrading of our country”, adds Macron.
