Dissolution rumors resurface: Could Macron repeat the gamble?

Rumors of a potential new dissolution of the French National Assembly have resurfaced in political circles. The topic was explored in a recent episode of POLITICO's Playbook Paris podcast, where journalists Pauline de Saint Remy and Jason Wiels, along with host Anthony Lattier, examined the possibility.

The key question is whether President Emmanuel Macron would consider using this constitutional tool again after his unsuccessful attempt in 2024. While there is no concrete evidence of such a move, the discussion focuses on what reasons might drive Macron to take this risky step.

In the podcast, sponsored by Groupement Mousquetaires, the panel debates whether the president would repeat the dissolution gamble given his previous failure. The topic has sparked widespread speculation in public discourse.
