Paris. In the first round of parliamentary elections in France on Sunday, President Emmanuel Macron's coalition has suffered a major setback. The far-right National Rally party led by Marine Le Pen has won the first round of elections but the final election result will come after voting on July 7.
The next voting in the election will be held on July 7
Penn has said that the coalition led by President Macron has been wiped out in this election. Pre-election surveys had indicated a lead for nationalists. This could be the biggest victory for far-right parties since World War II. The next voting in the two-phase election will be held on July 7. This election may affect Europe's stock market, Western countries' support for Ukraine and France's nuclear weapons stockpile.
People are struggling with inflation
People in France are currently struggling with inflation and the problems associated with it. They are angry with the impractical policies of President Macron's government. In such a situation, Marine Le Pen's anti-immigration National Rally party seems to be winning in the opinion polls.
There are around 50 million voters in France.
This has been proved in the first phase of elections. The alliance of political parties, New Popular Front, is also posing challenges for Macron in the elections. Around five crore voters in France will elect 577 members of the National Assembly. The National Assembly is the influential lower house of the French Parliament.
In the polling held on Sunday, 59 percent of the voters had already cast their votes three hours before the polling time was over. This percentage of voting was more than the percentage of voting in the first phase of the last election.
The right-wing National Rally party could benefit
Analysts believe that high voter turnout means that people are voting for change out of fear of the current situation. In such a situation, the right-wing National Rally Party may benefit. Counting of votes began a few hours after the voting.
