Macron wishing to hold snap parliamentary elections

French President Emmanuel Macron is exploring the possibility of dissolving parliament and holding snap elections as soon as this fall as a return to international prominence helps boost the French president’s popularity at home, Bloomberg writes.

Macron has consulted figures in his inner circle in recent weeks regarding such a scenario, according to people familiar with the exchanges. The discussions are merely consultative, and no decision has been made.

The next legislative elections aren’t due until 2029.
