The first round of the French parliamentary elections concluded with President Macron's centrist alliance facing a heavy defeat. The far-right party, National Rally, secured the top spot with a 34% vote share, while Macron's coalition only came in third, described as a significant setback. Following the voting, exit polls predicted National Rally leading, followed by the leftist alliance New People's Front, and Macron's governing coalition trailing behind. The second round of elections, scheduled for July 7th, will have implications for the European financial markets, Western support for Ukraine, and France's nuclear arsenal and global military influence.
