French Antifa riots in celebration of far-left election win over anti-mass immigration party
Rebel News journalist Alexa Lavoie is on the ground in France covering the momentous election that saw a leftist alliance win more seats than both Marine Le Pen's and Emmanuel Macron's party.
After the left's shocking victory in the election, far-left protesters took to the streets of Paris to riot, causing mayhem and attracting a significant police presence.
INSANITY in PARIS!

Lots of young people, saying everyone hate facist, lots of radical left and Antifa. Mostly young people. Massive riots expected.
This comes after the far left New Popular Front is expected to win over Marine Le Pen in today's election.

Although the left-wing New Popular Front won the most seats in the election, they have reportedly fallen short of an absolute majority.
According to France24, "Prime Minister Gabriel Attal said he would resign on Monday but will carry out his duties as long as required. It is France's president who nominates the PM but the candidate must be approved by parliament and thus often hails from whatever party or coalition holds the most seats."
