Marine Le Pen's far-right party leads in first round of snap French election
Sunday, 30 June 2024 Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally party will get the biggest vote share in the first round of France's parliamentary elections, according to exit polls.
National Rally president Jordan Bardella and French Socialist Party's Olivier Faure slam Emmanuel Macron's comments of not ruling out putting French troops on the ground in Ukraine but those remarks are defended by Prime Minister Gabriel Attal who said 'we fight to defend our values'.
Thousands of passionate supporters of Marine Le Pen rallied in the heart of Paris, voicing strong opposition to what they call a political decision against her. Le Pen denounces the ruling as anti-democratic, sparking massive demonstrations. Le Pen’s allies claim this is an attack on democracy. Despite mounting pressure, Le Pen remains defiant.

French PM Francois Bayrou has called out Donald Trump for interfering in France’s domestic affairs after the former US president urged Paris to “free” Marine Le Pen. Le Pen, convicted for misusing EU funds, was sentenced to four years in prison and banned from office. Trump labeled her a victim of political persecution. Bayrou warned of rising “illiberal” forces undermining democracy worldwide. As tensions rise, Trump’s remarks have sparked diplomatic unease ahead of France’s 2027 presidential race and fueled debates over foreign influence in sovereign judicial decisions.

Trump has come out strongly in defense of French far-right leader Marine Le Pen after a Paris court barred her from holding political office for five years. Trump accused European leftists of using “lawfare” to silence opposition, calling the conviction a “witch hunt.” The court found Le Pen guilty of misusing EU funds, a charge she denies as politically motivated. Trump warned the move was “bad for France” and an attack on free speech. Le Pen can no longer challenge Macron in the 2027 French presidential elections.

At CPAC 2025, Steve Bannon sparked controversy with a gesture resembling a Nazi salute, drawing backlash from the Anti-Defamation League and far-right figures. French National Rally leader Jordan Bardella canceled his speech, citing Bannon’s “allusion to Nazi ideology.” While Bannon dismissed the claim, saying it was a simple wave, critics remain unconvinced. The incident underscores growing divides within the global right and CPAC’s shift towards a Trump-centric rally, with discussions also revolving around Musk’s controversial presence and the 2028 election.
