French National Assembly dissolution not on agenda for now - government spokesperson
- Country:
- France
The dissolution of the National Assembly lower house of parliament is "not a topic for now", French government spokesperson Olivia Gregoire told France Inter radio on Monday, after President Emmanuel Macron lost his absolute majority.
Macron on Monday was faced with trying to salvage a ruling majority and with it his economic reform agenda after voters punished his centrist 'Ensemble' alliance in France's parliamentary election.
Final figures showed Macron's centrist camp got 245 seats - short of the 289 needed for an absolute majority.
