Le Pen’s Far Right Set For Big Win In First Round Of French Election | French Elections LIVE | N18G France on Sunday took a step closer to delivering what was once seen as an unthinkable nightmare: a far-right government taking power in Paris for the first time. Marine Le Pen’s National Rally made big gains in the first round of a snap election that could upend political orthodoxy across Europe and beyond, with implications for markets and global security that will be hard to predict. According to early estimates by pollsters Ipsos, the far-right National Rally is on course to win 34 percent of Sunday’s vote while French President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist alliance suffered staggering losses, coming third with 20.3 percent of vote. The left-wing alliance made a strong showing with 28.1 percent of the vote. #frenchelections #france #livenews #lepen #francenews #livenewstoday #englishnewslive #globalnews #international #world n18oc_world n18oc_live News18 Mobile Ap
