Results from the first round of voting in France's lower house National Assembly elections revealed that the far-right 'National Alliance,' led by Le Pen, obtained a majority with 33.15% of the vote, while President Macron's centrist 'Together Alliance' only gained 21.27%. If the far-right wins again in the upcoming second round, France might witness a center-right coalition government. Voter turnout was around 67%, indicating high public interest in government policies and elections. Far-right 'National Alliance' received nearly 34% of the vote, becoming the largest party, while the 'New People's Front' (NFP) left-wing alliance ranked second with 28.1%. Concerns arise over the potential negative impact on France and Europe's future if the far-right gains more seats or the Prime Minister position. Calls for strategic cooperation among left-wing and centrist factions have been made to safeguard the democratic system.
