This is first part second part going be later on this week After disappointing results for President Emmanuel Macron's party in the EU elections, France is back at the polls. Will the far-right make a breakthrough, or can Macron maintain his majority? France is heading to the polls for the first round of snap legislative elections today (30 June), to elect 577 representatives of the National Assembly. French President Emmanuel Macron stirred up a political storm following his poor performance in European elections on 9 June, in which the far-right National Rally came top. A shift towards the right could lead to a period of “cohabitation” in d www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/06/30/snap-parliamentary-elections-in-france-latest-updates |

Now they have wait maybe later on today I wont be here later on I got do stuff but maybe tommorow we hear something I don't know France awaits potentially seismic snap election results Emmanuel Macron unexpectedly dissolved the National Assembly after receiving a drubbing in European Parliament elections on 9 June. French voters are going to the polls today to elect the 577 members of the National Assembly. Stay tuned for the results of an election taking place against a background of surging support for the far-right – and the increasing unpopularity of centrist President Emmanuel Macron. The National Assembly was last constituted in 2022, and terms normally last five years. www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/06/30/snap-parliamentary-elections-in-france-latest-updates |

Yeah that they worry about the EU folks Will French elections spark the next euro crisis? The various campaign promises being made by France's far right and far left ahead of the two rounds of snap elections on June 30 and July 7 all have something in common: they will all be very, very expensive to carry out. Whether they call for lowering the retirement age back to 60, raising the minimum wage or granting blanket tax exemptions to everyone under 30, each campaign promise is another potential multibillion-euro threat to France's already empty coffers. But where will the money come from? Neither the far right nor the far left has an answer. Friedrich Heinemann, a public finance expert at the German-based Leibniz Center for European Economic Research, said the promises being made by France's populists mirror a broader "radicalization of economic policy." "Those are entirely unrealistic economic programs. They were written for nirvana but not for today's French economy," Heinemann told DW.

Well official Far right took over French govt Bardella pledges to be 'prime minister for all French people' after topping election results The far-right National Rally secured around a third of the vote in the first round of French legislative elections, but that might still not be enough to gain an absolute majority in the National Assembly. Three weeks after sweeping to an overwhelming victory in the European elections, the far-right National Rally (RN) on Sunday cemented its position as France's leading party, taking a comfortable lead in the first round of the snap legislative poll. "French people have given a clear verdict and confirmed their clear desire for change by putting the candidates of the National Rally and its allies in the lead," RN leader Jordan Bardella said in his victory speech shortly after 8pm local time. RN is on track to secure around 33.2% of the vote nationally, according to an Ipsos poll. That's five points ahead of the left-wing New Popular F www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/07/01/bardella-pledges-to-be-prime-minister-for-all-french-people-after-topping-election-results |

Ah form the govt and coalition French election: Le Pen’s far-right came top – but what happens next? Withdrawals and tactical voting suggest there’s still a lot to play for in the second round of France's legislative elections next Sunday. One in three French voters have backed Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally in the first round of a snap election called by President Emmanuel Macron. But the show isn’t over, given the unique electoral system that governs the selection of France’s National Assembly. The vote was called after a disastrous showing by Macron’s liberal coalition in the European Parliament election three weeks ago – and www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/07/01/french-election-le-pens-far-right-came-top-but-what-happens-next |
