French president Emmanuel Macron said he doesn’t rule out the possibility of again dissolving the National Assembly and calling snap elections.

“My wish is that there’s not another dissolution but I’m not used to depriving myself of a constitutional power,” he said Monday in response to a reporter’s question on whether he had excluded the possibility of taking such an unusual step.
