France votes in high-stakes election as far-right eyes historic victory

IndiaTimes Sunday, 30 June 2024 ()
French voters around the world are participating in the first round of a significant parliamentary election, which could potentially put France's government under the control of far-right forces for the first time since the Nazi era. This two-round election will conclude on July 7 and may have major consequences for European financial markets, Western support for Ukraine, and the management of France's nuclear arsenal and global military force. Many French voters are expressing dissatisfaction with inflation, economic challenges, and President Emmanuel Macron's leadership.
