According to reports, French President Emmanuel Macron is exploring the possibility of dissolving the parliament and holding early elections as early as the fall, because the recent rebound in Macron's international reputation will help increase its popularity in the country. According to people familiar with the matter, in recent weeks, Macron consulted with the core circle on this matter, and no decision has yet been made. The next parliamentary election will not be held until 2029. One of the people familiar with the matter said that one option is to wait until the parliament is dissolved next year and hold legislative elections at the same time as municipal elections are held in 2026. The person familiar with the matter called it a bad idea. Macron told party leaders in December last year that his goal was to avoid early elections until the end of his 2027 term. Another person familiar with the matter said on Tuesday that Macron's intentions have not changed.
