What is Macaroni trying to achieve here? He knows he's losing why would he call for national elections right now?
He might be attempting Rally around the flag effect using the threat of rising far right power to gain more seats for his own party in the French parliament. Probably hoping voters of other parties / dormant voters to rally for the vote.
