Euroquestions #82 | Impact of the snap elections on France’s European policy
PARTNERSHIP
PARTENAIRES
After a severe blow at the European elections, Emmanuel Macron immediately decided to dissolve the National Assembly. French citizens are therefore called upon to vote for their representatives on 30 June and 7 July. But what will these unexpected elections mean for France’s European policy? Could a cohabitation affect France’s position in the EU? And what influence will France keep in shaping the European Union with a possibly weakened President? We have the pleasure to welcome Sébastien Maillard, special councilor at the Jacques Delors Institute for this last Euroquestions before the summer break.
