Macron: “I invite all political forces who believe in the values of the Republic to a sincere and honest dialogue to form a majority.”

French President Emmanuel Macron, in his statement after the early general elections, said, ‘I invite all political forces who believe in republican values to a sincere and honest dialogue to form a majority.’ Following the early general elections held on June 30 and July 7 in France, President Emmanuel Macron made a written statement addressing the public. Macron expressed his satisfaction with the high turnout in the elections, stating, ‘The high turnout in the elections held on June 30 and July 7 is an indication of the vitality of the Republic. However, no political force could achieve the majority alone.’ Macron emphasized that the election results highlight the need for democratic expression, saying, ‘You prevented the far right from accessing the government. No party could secure a sufficient majority on its own, therefore a broad coalition is necessary.’ Macron invited all political forces in the country to dialogue, saying, ‘As the guardian of the superior interests of the country, I invite all political forces who believe in republican values to a sincere and honest dialogue to form a strong and pluralistic majority. This coalition should be based on clear and shared values to ensure the stability of the country.’ Macron stated that he will give political forces time to reach a consensus on the appointment of a new prime minister, saying, ‘The current government will continue its duty. This new political culture, determined by the people’s vote, should uphold the spirit of collaboration.’ In France, due to the overwhelming superiority achieved by the far-right National Rally Party in the European Parliament elections, President Macron dissolved the National Assembly on June 9. In the early general elections held on June 30 in France, the National Rally Party received 33.15% of the votes, coming first. In the second round of the early elections, the left-wing coalition New Popular Front (Nouveau Front Populaire), consisting of Unbowed France (LFI) led by Jean Luc Melenchon, Green Party (EEVL), Socialist Party (PS), and Communist Party (PCF), won with 182 seats.
