France's second round of elections: Far-right win or a hung parliament?

IndiaTimes Sunday, 7 July 2024
In the second round of the French parliamentary elections, voting commenced with the far-right National Rally aiming to strengthen its position, while President Emmanuel Macron's Renaissance party seeks a comeback. Following a significant first-round victory for Marine Le Pen's RN, polling indicates a potential shift in parliament's balance, with Macron's coalition and leftist forces aligning against the RN. If RN secures a majority, Jordan Bardella could become prime minister, potentially reshaping policies on immigration and Euroscepticism.
