Campaigning takes off in France for snap election in two weeks
PARIS -Campaigning kicked off on Monday for France's snap parliamentary election, which opinion polls suggest the far-right National Rally will win ahead of a left-wing ticket, with President Emmanuel Macron's centrist alliance trailing in third.
The poll suggests the eurosceptic, anti-immigration RN will get 33% of votes in the first round on June 30, a figure down two points from Ifop's previous poll. But added to the conservative Republicans, who have formed an electoral alliance with the RN, the total reaches 37%. Marie Balta, a retiree from Nimes in southern France, shared this concern but said the election could give parliament more power over what the president and government do.
Even the captain of France's national soccer team, Kylian Mbappe, has weighed in, urging young people to"make a difference" at a time when"extremes" were knocking on the door of power.
