A left-wing coalition has unexpectedly surged to win the most seats in France's snap elections, according to early polling projections. This result puts President Emmanuel Macron's centrist alliance in second place and the far right in third.

The lack of a majority for any single alliance poses a threat to France, potentially plunging the nation into political and economic turmoil. The elections, called just four weeks ago, appear not to have paid off for Macron, who risks losing control of parliament.

If the projections are confirmed, the new political landscape will bring intense uncertainty for France and the European Union, raising questions about governance and future policies.
