PARIS, France – Voters in France returned to polling stations on Sunday morning, taking part in the second and decisive parliamentary round of voting, which could result in political deadlock. Marine Le Pen’s right-wing National Rally party is anticipated to gain the most votes, but it may not secure a parliamentary majority due to political dirty tricks by the far left and globalists in France.
The prospect of a “hung parliament” also threatens President Emmanuel Macron’s authority, as a number of Marxist, communist, and Islamist-sympathetic groups cobble together an alliance in an attempt to block Le Pen. France is now witnessing a situation in which many candidates have even stood down over the past week to give other globalist allies a clearer run against Le Pen’s forces.
The Rassemblement National (National Rally) had the highest vote share in the initial round of the elections last week. Earlier this month, Macron’s centrist alliance was defeated by the National Rally in the European elections, prompting him to call for this snap vote in scenes not dissimilar to those witnessed in the United Kingdom. France’s semi-presidential system delineates powers between the president and the prime minister, with the latter role now at stake.
Jordan Bardella, Le Pen’s 28-year-old protégé, is poised to become prime minister if National Rally wins outright. Bardella has gained popularity, particularly among younger voters, through platforms like TikTok.
This vote covers 501 of the 577 seats in France’s National Assembly, with the remaining 76 already decided in the first round. According to EurActiv, “about 30,000 police, including 5,000 in Paris, will be deployed this weekend to head off trouble.” The National Pulse is on the ground in Paris to witness the scenes and report them back for you.
