France's High-Stakes Early Parliamentary Elections: Potential Far-Right Shift Amid Rising Tensions

France is holding the first round of early parliamentary elections, which could bring the country's first far-right government since World War II. The vote involves three major political blocs: National Rally, President Macron's centrist alliance, and the New Popular Front coalition. The second round is on July 7.

France is poised for a pivotal electoral showdown as it conducts the first round of early parliamentary elections today.

This unprecedented vote could usher in the nation's first far-right government since World War II, with three main political factions vying for control: the far-right National Rally, President Emmanuel Macron's centrist alliance, and the New Popular Front coalition, which encompasses center-left, Greens, and hard-left forces.

The electoral outcome is highly uncertain, and the second round, scheduled for July 7, will be critical in determining France's political landscape.
