France’s Historic Election: Breaking News
The European Parliament saw a significant shift in power with the recent elections at the beginning of June. The rise of the far-right parties across Europe has caused a stir, particularly in France where President Emmanuel Macron faced a major defeat leading to the dissolution of the Parliament.
As France prepares for an early election, the first round is underway today with expectations of historical significance. The latest polls indicate that Macron is not leading in the race, with Jordan Bardella, the 28-year-old prime ministerial candidate from Marine Le Pen’s National Rally Party, poised to win the first round.
Surprisingly, Macron’s party, the Renaissance Party, finds itself in third place behind the Left alliance and the centrist alliance. The rise of the far-right in France has raised concerns about the potential impact on fundamental principles such as human rights, equality, and democratic values.
Moreover, the possibility of Frexit, akin to Brexit, where France would leave the European Union, has sparked discussions within the country. As the election unfolds and the political landscape evolves, the future of France’s relationship with the EU hangs in the balance.
