First projected results from France are putting the far-right National Rally party well ahead in the European Union's parliamentary election, according to French opinion poll institutes
First projected results from France on Sunday put the far-right National Rally party well ahead in the European Union's parliamentary election, defeating President Emmanuel Macron’s pro-European centrists, according to French opinion poll institutes. Marine Le Pen’s anti-immigration, nationalist party is estimated to get around 31-32% of the votes, more than twice the score of Macron's Renaissance party that is projected to reach around 15%.
The National Rally’s lead candidate, Jordan Bardella, wants to limit free movement of migrants by carrying out national border controls and dial back EU climate rules. The party no longer wants to leave the EU and the euro, but aims to weaken it from within. “Tonight, our compatriots have expressed a desire for change,” Bardella said. “Emmanuel Macron is tonight a weakened president,” he added, calling for new national legislative elections to be organized.
