Emmanuel Macron has unveiled his strategy for the legislative elections following the surprise dissolution of the National Assembly. Aiming for a "clear majority" to counter the advance of the National Rally (RN), Macron called for an alliance of "republican" parties. He emphasized the need for unity against extremism and proposed a "federation of projects" to govern, inviting social democrats, Gaullist right-wingers, and environmentalists to join his camp.
