Left-wing and centrist parties in France have strategically withdrawn hundreds of candidates from the parliamentary elections to block the far-right National Rally party from securing an absolute majority. Macronists and moderate leftists are contemplating a grand coalition to prevent an extreme right-wing government, with Macron firmly rejecting any collaboration with left-wing populists.

Renowned Nazi hunter Serge Klarsfeld advises Jews to opt for the far right over the far left due to concerns over anti-Semitism. Meanwhile, the far-right National Rally party in France has ambitious plans but lacks specific details on implementation, raising questions about their policies.

Amidst this political drama, Russia's attempts to influence the elections in favor of the far right have heightened tensions as the French prepare for the crucial run-off vote.
