France: Far Right Kept Out of Power in Election, but Parliament Left With No Clear Majority

French voters kept the far-right out of power in the snap parliamentary election, resulting in a hung parliament with no clear majority. The left-wing New Popular Front coalition won the most seats, preventing Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally from gaining power, but the New Popular Front fell short of an outright majority. Despite losing, the National Rally showed significant gains compared to previous elections. Macron's centrist Ensemble alliance made a recovery, but the overall outcome leaves France with no clear path forward. Macron now faces the challenge of appointing a new prime minister and navigating a politically fragmented parliament, raising concerns about future instability.
