Le Pen’s Party Asks French Voters for Absolute Majority

“National Rally leader Jordan Bardella called on supporters to hand his party and its allies a resounding victory in France’s snap election to enable him to govern, setting a high bar for the far right to take the reins of policymaking,” Bloomberg reports.

“While polls indicate Marine Le Pen’s party is best placed to become the largest group in the National Assembly following two rounds of voting starting June 30, projections don’t show it winning more than half of the 577 seats.”
