The anti-immigration party secured one in three votes in the first round of parliamentary elections. They have now set their sights on winning an absolute majority.
RN leader Jordan Bardella, who hopes to be France's next PM, appealed to voters to make a choice between a left-wing alliance he called "an existential threat to the French nation" and a party of patriots ready to leap into action.
PM Gabriel Attal, who may be days from losing his job, says the stakes are clear - to stop the far right winning an absolute majority.
Emmanuel Macron, who called the election and propelled France into political crisis, still has three years as president and has vowed not to resign.

Perhaps the WEF should be funding the BBC instead of the British taxpayer.

Far right? Well they’re not far wrong…

Why is 'LEFT' referred to as left, while 'RIGHT' is referred to as 'FAR RIGHT'? What on earth gives the BBC the right to add bias to every news story they involve themselves with?
