On June 14, 2024, after the Euro Zone Parliament elections, various countries' ruling parties performed worse than expected due to the Ukraine-Russia war fueling the growth of right-wing forces. French President Macron's popularity plummeted after his meeting with Putin before the war. The European Parliament elections resulted in the center-right 'European People's Party' securing the most seats, while the center-left 'Social Democrats' and the center 'Renew Europe' also gained significant seats, influencing the political spectrum to shift right. Macron's party losing to the far-right 'National Rally' led to him announcing the dissolution of the National Assembly and calling for early elections. Concerns arise over Macron's position affecting the upcoming Paris Olympics, with possible repercussions on the EU's Green policies, automotive industry challenges, and global economic relations.
