The 2024 European elections in France confirmed the renewed interest of voters and the media in these elections. They were marked by the resounding victory of the Rassemblement National, which focused on criticising President Emmanuel Macron rather than only on European integration. Macron's personal investment and dramatisation of the issues had no effect, while the centre-left limited the damage. Unexpectedly, these elections had major political consequences, with Macron's risky decision to dissolve the National Assembly on election night. The result is a deep division of French political life into three blocs and a clear weakening of France's voice in Brussels.
