PARIS, July 1 — France’s far right was yesterday eyeing a historic chance to form a government and claim the post of prime minister after winning the first round of legislative...
We’re already here and we’re ready to self-regulate, Content Forum says after MCMC plans licencing social media platformsDemonstrators take part in a rally against far-right after the announcement of the results of the first round of parliamentary elections at Place de la Republique in Paris on June 30, 2024.
But that gamble risks backfiring, with Macron’s alliance now expected to win a far smaller minority contingent in parliament. That would make the president a far less powerful figure for the remaining three years of his term.Projections from prominent French polling firms gave the RN 33.2-33.5 per cent of the vote, compared to 28.1-28.5 per cent for the left-wing New Popular Front alliance, and 21.0-22.1 per cent for Macron’s centrist camp.
The left-wing alliance and the president’s camp will be hoping that tactical voting to prevent RN candidates winning seats will leave it short of the absolute majority. The arrival of anti-immigration and Eurosceptic RN in government would be a turning point in French modern history and be the first time a far-right force has taken power in the country since World War II when it was occupied by Nazi Germany.
Hard-left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon said Macron’s centrist alliance had suffered a “heavy and undisputable” defeat in the snap polls.
