The French people have once again made it clear that they do not want to hand over the country to the right-wing. They gave them a big victory in the European elections. They won a big victory in the first round of the parliamentary elections. But when it came time to actually vote, as in the presidential election, they backed off. After the huge turnout in the election, it seemed like the results could be surprising. The results also showed that voters came out in large numbers to stop the National Rally (RN).
Right-wing coalition in third place
According to CNN, France's Interior Ministry confirmed the final results of Sunday's election, saying that the pan-left coalition New Popular Front won the most seats at 182. Emmanuel Macron's centrist Ensemble party won 163 seats, while the right-wing coalition, widely seen as a strong contender for victory, came in third. The National Rally and its allies managed to win only 143 seats. The ministry said that 66.63% voting took place in the country.
Unable to take advantage of public anger,
Voters rebuked Macron and his ruling coalition over livelihood crises and failing public services, as well as immigration and security. The RN capitalised on this resentment. It stepped up its efforts in its traditional strongholds on the Mediterranean coast and other parts of the country but it was not enough to regain power.
This coalition is a big setback for RN which is the reason for RN's defeat. Because opinion polls over the past few weeks have been predicting his easy victory. However, after the first round of voting last week, a left-wing and centrist coalition helped consolidate a unified anti-RN vote by withdrawing several candidates in a three-way contest.
rn response
In his first reaction, RN leader Jordan Bardella called the cooperation between anti-RN forces an aggressive alliance. He said that this alliance would paralyze France. He argued that the defeat of his party was possible only with Macron and the leftist NFP alliance. A decision was taken this week to withdraw 200 candidates from the race in an effort to curb the right. Marine Le Pen said that Sunday's vote, in which the RN took a bigger lead than the last election, has sown seeds for the future. He said that our victory is late. Let us tell you here that he will be the RN candidate for the 2027 presidential election.
Right wing supporters disappointed
A large number of right-wing supporters gathered in Paris. All preparations for the celebration had been made. But the first post-vote results shocked and then the actual results broke the hearts of these supporters. According to the BBC, a right-wing supporter Rosa Gave, who was holding a French flag, said, “We are sad, disappointed and shocked by this result. We are victims of a dishonest coalition led by Macron that wants to keep us out of power.
However, there is good news that
RN did not perform as expected but still this election cannot be called completely negative for them. I have brought some good hopes for their future. Because RN is getting more votes in every election. 8 in 2017, 89 in 2022, 143 seats with the help of allies in 2024.
