Emmanuel Macron has called for new parliamentary elections after his party lost heavily in the EU elections.
The French President has said he is dissolving parliament and is calling for new elections following the performance of the hard-right National Rally in the European elections.
According to the first exit polls, Marine Le Pen's National Rally won around 32 per cent of the votes, a 10 point increase on the last EU election in 2019 and some 17 points ahead of President Emmanuel Macron's party.
