The recent parliamentary election in France has brought the country to a crucial political juncture. Possible outcomes include a victory for right-wing populists, success for the left-green New People's Front, or the challenge of unclear majorities that could impede President Macron's agenda.

Macron's decision to call for early elections in a bid to thwart the rising influence of the Rassemblement National (RN) poses risks, including a potential resignation and the prospect of far-right leader Le Pen assuming power.

As prominent figures like Prime Minister Gabriel Attal and Foreign Minister Stéphane Séjourné compete in the second round, the field is diverse, with former Socialist President François Hollande and Republican leader Eric Ciotti also in contention.

The looming election results will not only shape France's political landscape but also carry implications for the nation's future standing within the European Union.
