This is the best summary I could come up with:
Macron was answering a question on whether he would be ready to resign if the National Rally wins the parliamentary election and urges him to leave.
It also intersected with swirling rumors which began circulating on Tuesday that he was considering resigning, triggering a denial from the Elysée.
A new campaign begins, and we should look at the scores for each constituency in the light of those for the European elections,” Macron added.
Macron will start campaigning with a press conference in a Parisian hotel on Wednesday, an event initially planned for Tuesday.
In private, several MPs from Macron’s camp see his direct involvement in the campaign as a bad news, rather than a boost, POLITICO’S Playbook Paris reported Tuesday.
France’s simmering political crisis, the rise of the far right and the decision to call the snap vote have also sparked fears on the markets, with credit agencies and experts warning that political instability and a possible National Rally victory will undermine French efforts to cut public debt, which is at a worrying level.
