French diplomats are expressing concerns over the possibility of a right-wing victory in the upcoming parliamentary elections in France. They fear that a right-wing government could lead to significant changes in French foreign policy and its role in Europe and the world.

Some diplomats are considering taking time off or being seconded to European institutions to avoid the potential takeover by the right. Acts of violence have also been reported during the election campaign, with attacks on government officials and candidates.

Football star Kylian Mbappé has urged the French to participate in the elections and prevent the far-right from gaining power. The city of Paris has resisted the rise of the extreme-right party in the elections, attributed to its economic dynamism and liberal population.

Polls indicate that the right-wing populist party is leading but will not achieve an absolute majority. Germany's CDU chairman, Friedrich Merz, has stated that Germany would have to cooperate with a French government led by the right-wing party.

Overall, while far-right parties have made gains across Europe, the traditional centrist parties remain dominant in the European Parliament.
