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.
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.
