Milan, 26 August (LaPresse) – The president of the Rassemblement National, Jordan Bardella, has asked French President Emmanuel Macron to ‘dissolve’ the Assembly or “resign” in order to ‘break the political deadlock’ in France, ahead of an important vote of confidence in the Bayrou government on 8 September. Bardella, who reiterated his decision to deny confidence in the current executive, stressed – in an interview on TF1's 8 p.m. news programme – that the ‘only possibility’ is to ‘return to the polls’.
