French far-right leader Marine Le Pen called on her National Rally party members to prepare for a possible dissolution of parliament on Monday in response to the government's "parliamentary collapse." "It would be quite dangerous to think that there will be no dissolution," Le Pen said as she opened the National Unity Convention in parliament, which brings together far-right national and European parliamentarians.
Marine Le Pen assessed that there is a "parliamentary collapse" of the executive authorities, President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Francois Bayrou.
"So Macron could be tempted to dismiss the government," added Le Pen, who would be barred from running in parliamentary elections at this stage due to a ruling she appealed over the use of European funds.
Last June, Macron decided to dissolve parliament, to the surprise of many, but the far right failed to defeat the "Republican Front" in those parliamentary elections, the then-agreed coalition of the traditional left and right - against the National Rally.
