Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally party has achieved a historic victory in the first round of France's parliamentary elections, securing 33.2% to 34.5% of the vote according to various sources. This result has dealt a significant blow to President Emmanuel Macron's centrist alliance, which managed only 20% of the vote. The left-wing New Popular Front came in second with 28%. The final outcome of the elections will depend on the run-off vote scheduled for July 7, as political parties scramble to form alliances to prevent the far-right from securing an outright majority. Riots and protests have erupted in Paris and other cities in response to the far-right's success, with thousands taking to the streets. Macron's decision to call a snap election appears to have backfired, leading to a fragmented political landscape and raising concerns about France's social cohesion and its role in Europe.
