Campaign for the First Round of Parliamentary Snap Elections Begins in France

Today, the campaign for the first round of parliamentary snap elections has begun in France, which observers are calling "lightning fast". It will last for 12 days, with candidates registered in all 577 electoral districts across the country, according to Euronews.

It is noteworthy that French President Emmanuel Macron dissolved the lower house of parliament, the National Assembly, on June 9 due to his party's defeat in the European Parliament elections.
