On June 29, 2024, France held the first round of the National Assembly election, with early polls showing the far-right 'National Alliance' leading. Concerns arise in Europe over the resurgence of populism. The party winning an absolute majority in parliament will appoint the next prime minister, potentially 28-year-old Bardra from the 'National Alliance.' Diverging from current President Macron's centrist policies, this could result in a dysfunctional government. Protests against the far-right were held across France before the election. The 'National Alliance' leader promises economic changes, with tax reforms becoming a key issue in the debate. Sunday's vote will determine the 577 parliament members, potentially shifting political dynamics. Macron's party currently ranks third in polls, while the 'National Alliance' gains strong support, posing a significant challenge to Macron's leadership.
