In a shock move, French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday said he would dissolve parliament and call new legislative elections later this month after he was trounced in European elections by Marine Le Pen's far-right party.

Macron said the results were a disaster for his government, and one he could not pretend to ignore.

#Macron dissolves the #French parliament and calls for early legislative elections. First round will be held on June 30, second round July 6. The results of the #EuropeanElections have prompted the move, with the far right RN clinching 31,5% of the vote. #MarineLePen says the #RN is "ready to wield power if the French show their trust in the party".

Massive bet from Macron, who risks becoming a lame duck president, with the prospect of a first far right government since WWII.
