Early Elections?

It's just a rumour, but there is a report in 20 Minutes today (seen via escolar.net), that senior government officials have been told to take their holidays before the autumn in case an early general election is called for October. Now, apart from it being just a rumour, any such decision obviously depends on the results of the municipal elections at the end of May. Still, a good result in these elections for the government could provoke severe problems in the opposition and make it an attractive option.
