Marine Le Pen, head of the parliamentary faction of the right-wing "National Rally" party, believes that France may need to hold early presidential elections, against the background of the "fragile position" of the country's president, Emmanuel Macron. He announced this in an interview with Le Parisien newspaper.
I am preparing for snap presidential elections as a precaution, given Macron's fragile position and the few institutional levers he has left," he said.
"There are many reasons why Emmanuel Macron may decide to end his presidential term.
According to Le Pen, the head of state may now face problems even from his centrist alliance allies, who may have differences with their appointed Prime Minister Francois Bayrou.
