Tensions are running high in French politics following the first round of legislative elections.

Marine Tondelier, national secretary of the Greens, expressed outrage at Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire's refusal to endorse far-left candidates against the far-right National Rally (RN).

Le Maire called for support of social democratic candidates, excluding the far-left La France Insoumise (LFI).

The presidential camp remains divided on the issue.

While some, like Gabriel Attal, speak of a 'moral duty' to prevent an RN majority, others, including Aurore Bergé, maintain their stance against both RN and LFI candidates.

This political maneuvering highlights the complex dynamics at play in France's evolving political landscape.
