Far right French party emerges as strong contender in runoff elections


The upcoming Sunday runoff election in France will determine whether the far-right National Rally will gain the majority needed to name a prime minister and shape domestic policy. The most likely outcome, however, is a hung Parliament with centrists and the left banding together to prevent the far right from implementing its agenda. President Emmanuel Macron’s decision to call the elections backfired, leading to tactical alliances between different political factions to block the National Rally. These alliances have resulted in physical attacks on candidates and activists, with tensions high on the campaign trail. Polls indicate that these tactical withdrawals have reduced the potential seats for the far right, while the left and Macron’s centrists could form a coalition to counter it. However, a hung Parliament could lead to political paralysis and inaction, affecting both domestic policies and international relationships. The National Rally’s rise in popularity, especially among disadvantaged and young voters, is seen as a rebuke to Macron’s centrist politics. Regardless of the outcome, the National Rally stands to gain more power, challenging the traditional political landscape in France.
