During the final round of the French parliamentary election on July 7, 2024, the far-right party 'National Rally' received the highest vote share in the first round and is expected to secure a majority in the runoff. This election not only determines France's political landscape for the next three years but could also impact the EU, NATO, and global financial and security frameworks. President Macron's failure seems inevitable, with the best-case scenario for him being a 'suspended parliament' without any party holding a majority, and the worst being a far-right win. If National Rally secures a majority, it would be France's first far-right government since WWII, affecting the 2027 presidential election. A summary of the election's four impacts and insights is provided based on Politico's European edition.
