France goes to the polls in key parliamentary elections

Second round of vote takes place on Sunday, July 7

Far-right National Rally poised to make gains

French voters went to the polls on Sunday, June 30, in the first round of a key parliamentary election. President Emmanuel Macron's centrist coalition, Ensemble!, came out on top, but fell short of an absolute majority in the National Assembly. The far-right National Rally (RN), led by Marine Le Pen, came in second place, with a significant increase in its vote share.

The second round of voting will take place on Sunday, July 7, and will determine the final composition of the National Assembly. The results of the election will have a major impact on Macron's ability to implement his agenda, including his plans for economic reforms and changes to the pension system.

The RN is hoping to make significant gains in the second round of voting, and could potentially become the largest opposition party in the National Assembly. Le Pen has campaigned on a platform of anti-immigration and economic nationalism, and her party has benefited from growing dissatisfaction with Macron's government.

The outcome of the parliamentary elections will be closely watched by observers around the world, as it could have implications for the future of French politics and the stability of the European Union.
