Far-right Rassemblement National's Quest for Absolute Majority in French Politics

The far-right Rassemblement National in France is leading in parliamentary elections but faces uncertainty in achieving an absolute majority. Competing against a new left-wing alliance and President Macron's centrist camp, the party's ability to form a government remains uncertain.

While the Rassemblement National acknowledges climate change, its policies focus on a nationalist approach emphasizing local patriotism and protectionism. Amid rising tensions, French Prime Minister urges calm after a series of assaults during the election campaign, with fears of potential political deadlock.

Marine Le Pen's criticism of French national team captain Kylian Mbappe for opposing extremism highlights the ideological divisions in the upcoming legislative elections. With efforts to prevent an absolute majority for Rassemblement National, the French political landscape remains highly contested and polarized.
