In response to the far-right party National Rally's strong showing in the European Parliament elections, with 31% of the vote compared to the ruling Renaissance Party's 14%, protests erupted across France over the weekend with an estimated 75,000 participants in Paris alone expressing concerns about the rise of the far-right and urging unity against it. President Macron dissolved the parliament following the election results, triggering a swift response from the opposition. With the first round of parliamentary elections approaching, there is a heightened sense of urgency among left-wing supporters to prevent the far-right from gaining significant power in the government.
