French far-right three-time presidential candidate Marine Le Pen on Monday urged President Emmanuel Macron to call snap legislative elections in a bid to end months of political deadlock.
Holding the polls is "not an option but an obligation" for Macron, Le Pen told the National Assembly ahead of a confidence vote in the government of Prime Minister Francois Bayrou which she predicted would bring about "the end of the agony of a phantom government".
