Le Pen's Party Set for Historic Gains in French Elections
Left-wing Coalition Poised for Majority Seats
Le Pen's National Rally Makes Significant Advance
PARIS, France (June 27, 2024) - A left-wing coalition is on track to secure the most seats in France's legislative election, delivering a surprise upset to the incumbent government. The coalition, composed of several left-leaning parties, is projected to gain a majority in the National Assembly, which would give them significant control over legislative matters.
This outcome marks a significant setback for President Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally party, which had been widely expected to perform strongly in the election. Le Pen's party, which advocates for nationalist and anti-immigration policies, had won a large number of seats in the first round of voting earlier this month.
The left-wing coalition's victory is a major upset to France's political landscape. The coalition had been given little chance of winning a majority in the polls, and its success will likely lead to a change in the country's political direction.
