French President Emmanuel Macron's decision to call a snap parliamentary election has led to significant political upheaval. Polls indicate that Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally is leading with around 33-35% of the vote, followed by the leftist alliance with approximately 27-29%. Macron's centrist party, Ensemble, is trailing in third place with 18-22% support. Analysts suggest that Macron's strategy of confronting the far-right has backfired, normalizing their presence in French politics. The elections are seen as one of the most critical in France's post-war history, with potential outcomes including a government led by either the hard right or hard left. The decision to dissolve the National Assembly has plunged France into a period of political instability, reflecting an appetite for authoritarianism among voters.
