What lies ahead for France's political future?
It’s a tough day for a significant portion of the French population following yesterday’s surprising election results.
The far-left alliance, Nouveau Front Populaire, shocked everyone last night by winning the most seats in the National Assembly during yesterday’s runoff elections. An Antifa candidate was even elected!
They did this despite losing the popular vote to Marine Le Pen’s anti-immigration Rassemblement National party, which came third in total seats won. This was the result of 224 candidates withdrawing after the first round to concentrate votes behind the leftist coalition.
After documenting the resulting riots last night, I filmed a short video update reflecting on France’s new political reality and what it means for the future of the country.
