The political crisis in France is intensifying, with Marine Le Pen, the leader of the far right, demanding new elections. Le Pen stated that the current situation can no longer continue, awaiting either the dissolution of the National Assembly or the resignation of President Macron. The resigning Prime Minister, Sébastien Lecornu, has tried to calm the spirits, but the crisis remains deep. Polls indicate Rassemblement National as the favorite in the presidential elections, which amplifies political tensions.
