France on Edge as Far-Right Poised for Historic Win

Published: 2024-07-07

France is holding its breath ahead of a crucial legislative election on July 7th.

The vote, hastily organized after President Emmanuel Macron dissolved the parliament, could see the far-right National Rally party secure a majority in the National Assembly.

This potential outcome has left the country in a state of anxiety, with many viewing it as a historic turning point.

Citizens express fears about the implications for minority rights and individual freedoms if the far-right comes to power.

The election follows the National Rally's unprecedented success in the European elections on June 9th, setting the stage for a potentially transformative moment in French politics.
