French President Emmanuel Macron's centrist alliance won the first round of lower house elections on Sunday by a razor-thin margin over the left bloc of Jean-Luc Melenchon although it is likely to extend its lead in next weekend's second-round runoff. Charlotte Minvielle, NUPES candidate for the French living in Northern Europe, speaks to FRANCE 24.
Initial estimates put the hard-left veteran Jean-Luc Melenchon's NUPES bloc neck-and-neck with Macron's Ensemble! alliance in the first round of the French legislative elections, with 26.20% and 25.8% respectively. A “match" of which Melenchon's NUPES supporters say they are "very happy". FRANCE 24's Cole Stangler reports from the France Unbowed headquarters in Marseille.
French President Emmanuel Macron's centrist alliance was in danger of falling short of a majority after a first round of parliamentary elections on Sunday that saw a surge in support for a new leftwing coalition. Macron's "Ensemble" (Together) alliance ran neck-and-neck with new leftwing coalition NUPES in Sunday's first round, with both scoring around 25-26 percent of the popular vote. Data Scientist Rémi Louf gives his perspective.
