The far-right National Rally party, led by Marine Le Pen, is projected to lead after the first round of voting in Frances legislative elections, potentially securing a majority in parliament.

Eric Ciotti, the president of France's mainstream conservative party, has proposed forming an alliance with Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally, despite its history of antisemitism.
