Recent elections in France reveal a significant shift in voting patterns among young people.

The 18-24 age group, once supportive of Emmanuel Macron, has largely abandoned his party.

According to recent polls, 41% of young voters now support the New Popular Front, a left-wing alliance.

The far-right National Rally has also gained traction, securing 23% of youth votes.

Macron's party, Ensemble, has seen its support among young voters plummet to just 13%.

This trend reflects growing disillusionment with Macron's policies and a preference for parties addressing immediate concerns like purchasing power.

However, the most striking statistic remains the high abstention rate, with nearly half of young voters choosing not to participate in elections at all.
