ChatGPT summary:

In an unprecedented turn of events in French politics, President Macron dissolved the National Assembly following a significant loss to Le Pen's Rassemblement National in the EU elections, prompting a scramble for new elections. The left quickly formed a "Popular Front," despite attempts by Socialist Raphael Glucksmann to prevent it. On the right, chaos ensued as Les Républicains President Éric Ciotti's alliance with Le Pen faced internal revolt, resulting in his contested ousting. Further right, Marion Maréchal's bid to ally with RN led to a split with Zemmour. Macron criticized the left-wing alliance, accusing them of antisemitism, while prominent intellectual Alain Finkielkraut controversially considered supporting Le Pen. The political landscape is highly unstable ahead of the elections.
