French President Emmanuel Macron stated that he will not step down even if his party faces a defeat in a snap election, urging voters to resist extremist influences. Macron's unexpected dissolution of the National Assembly came after a major loss to Marine Le Pen's party, causing concern among investors. Polls show a lead for Le Pen's party, but alliances could block their legislative control in the final vote. Macron presented a new campaign program and affirmed that the choice of prime minister will be made in accordance with the constitution after the elections.
