Marine Le Pen dismissed projections indicating her far-right National Rally party may not secure an absolute majority in the French legislative election, cautioning of a possible 'quagmire' if she doesn't receive a mandate to govern. The National Rally and its allies are estimated to potentially win 170 to 250 of the 577 seats in the National Assembly, significantly below the 289 needed for easy passage of bills. Le Pen expressed confidence in obtaining an absolute majority and warned of legislative gridlock if no party secures it, highlighting the significance of the upcoming election.
