France’s left-wing New Popular Front is projected to finish ahead of Marine Le Pen’s far-right party in the parliamentary elections.
What lies ahead for France now?
We’re joined by Professor Mason Richey.
Welcome back.
1. What’s behind this surprise second-round result?
2. A projection shows the far-right National Rally is looking to come a close third with between 132 and 152 seats.
Isn’t this still a great achievement?
The figure is a significant increase from the 89 seats won in 2022.
3. Macron’s gambles have kept the far-right out of power. But it doesn’t mean Macron is in his safest place, or is he?
4. French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal said he would submit his resignation on Monday.
Who will likely replace him?
What happens now?
5. France now looks likely to be stranded in a hung-parliament scenario that divides it between 3 strongly represented parties.
What does that mean for France?
Professor Richey, thanks so much for joining us this morning.
We appreciate it.
