According to French President Emmanuel Macron, snap elections separate the wheat from the chaff.
President of France Emmanuel Macron yesterday defended his decision to hold new parliamentary elections after the resounding defeat of Macron’s party in the European Parliament elections.
The journalist asked Macron in connection with the G7 meeting’s press conference, whether the French opposition really has the opportunity to organize and campaign successfully in the fast-paced elections.
– If the opposition does not have time to organize, they are not ready to govern. This is good news for France. We have people who are ready to lead, who have been leading for seven years and who are doing work that produces financial results, Macron commented.
The first round of the parliamentary elections will be held on July 30 and the second round on July 7
– That’s it. If you are not ready to govern, you should not stand before the French in the elections. (Criticism of the opposition) There is honestly nothing to be taken seriously, Macron said.
