The French town of Soissons and the nation at large are grappling with the rise of the far-right National Rally party, led by Marine Le Pen, following a historic victory in the European elections. The unexpected move by President Macron to dissolve parliament has heightened fears of further far-right gains, with potential implications of Le Pen's protegé, Jordan Bardella, becoming prime minister.

Amidst this, there is controversy surrounding conservative leader Éric Ciotti's plans to form an electoral alliance with Le Pen's party, causing dismay and calls for his resignation within the party, and even threats from German conservatives to expel the French conservatives from the EPP.

As France braces for new elections, the far-right RN faces dilemmas on whether to prioritize consolidating its gains in the European Parliament or to shift focus to the national parliamentary elections. Despite these challenges, President Macron remains resolute in his refusal to resign, underscoring the political tensions and strategic maneuvers at play in the French political landscape.
