French Leftist Coalition Stuns with Election Victory, Halting Far-Right Surge
Unexpected win by the New Popular Front reshapes France's political landscape and raises economic concerns.
- The leftist New Popular Front is set to become the largest force in the French parliament, with projections of 177–187 seats.
- Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally, initially expected to dominate, finished third after a strong first-round showing.
- President Macron’s centrist alliance took second place, complicating governance with no clear majority in parliament.
- The election results have caused the euro to slip, reflecting market worries over increased government spending by the left.
- Despite the left's victory, the far-right made historic gains, nearly doubling its seats in parliament.
