Claims circulating on the internet allege that French President Emmanuel Macron plans to lead France into a war with Russia in order to postpone elections and remain in power, according to a fact-check published by Euronews.
The report states that such a scenario is not feasible under the French constitution, which does not provide a mechanism for a president to indefinitely delay elections through the pretext of external conflict.
The fact-check addresses a claim that has been spreading online, without attributing it to a specific verified source or event that would substantiate the allegation.
Euronews' reporting frames the claim as unsupported by France's constitutional framework governing presidential terms and elections.
