Le Pen’s Party Wins Big in First Round of French Election
France24 TV: Right-wing “National Rally party is estimated to win between 230 and 280 seats in the 577-seat National Assembly.”
France’s right-wing National Rally is expected to emerge as the single largest party in the first round of the parliamentary election. National Rally led by its new leader, 28-year-old Jordan Bardella, will secure nearly 34 percent of the vote, followed by the newly formed alliance of leftist and Marxist parties, the New Popular Front, which secured 28.5 percent, polls released after Sunday vote show.
“According to an estimate by French polling institute Ipsos Talan, the far-right National Rally party is estimated to win between 230 and 280 seats in the 577-seat National Assembly,” the TV channel France24 reported.
This is few seats short of the 289-mark needed to form the government in the 577-seat National Assembly parliament. National Assembly’s possible post-election coalition partner, the conservative Republicans, is set to get between 41-61 seats with 10 percent of the vote share, early polls indicate.
The French news agency AFP, however, reported National Rally gaining majority in the first round of the vote. “The polling agencies projected this would give the RN a majority of seats in the 577-seat National Assembly after the second round and a possible absolute majority,” the news agency reported.
“The second biggest group is projected to be the leftist New Popular Front, with between 125 and 165 seats, and President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist Ensemble at between 70 and 100 seats,” the France24 TV.

President Emmanuel Macron Ensemble party was trailing at the third place with some 20 percent. President Macron called the snap elections after his party was trounced by the National Rally in the recent European Union election.
This is the first times a right-wing nationalist party has come close to forming a government on its own in a major European power since World War II. Amid open borders and surging migrant crime, the right-wing parties emerged as the third biggest force in this month’s European election, behind the socialist and conservative blocs, winning nearly a quarter of the 720 seats.
Alternative for Germany (AfD) party came second in the recent EU election, with 16 percent of the vote. Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party is polling at 19 percent ahead of the next week’s general election.
French left scrambling after right-wing win
The left-wing parties are trying to join forces to reverse the National Rally’s gains in the second round of voting set for July 7.
“Jean-Luc Mélenchon, founder of left-wing party La France Insoumise (France Unbowed), told supporters that the party will withdraw candidates in second-round three-way races in an effort to block the far-right National Rally from legislative power,” the France-based Euronews TV reported.
Le Pen: French voters ‘wiped out Macron camp’
Long-time National Rally leader Marine Le Pen urged the voters to give her party an ‘absolute majority’ in the second round, which party’s prime ministerial candidate Jordan Bardella will need to form a government without support from other parties.
The BBC reported Le Pen remarks following the early results:
The National Rally’s Marine Le Pen has just addressed cheering supporters in her northern constituency of Henin-Beaumont.
“Democracy has spoken and the French have put the RN and its allies at the top, practically wiping out the Macron camp,” she says.
She adds that people clearly want to “turn the page after seven years of scornful and corrosive rule” and asks people to vote for the RN again next Sunday in the second round.
“We need an absolute majority so that [RN leader] Jordan Bardella can be appointed prime minister in a week’s time,” she adds.
Leftist rioting feared after election loss
Meanwhile, the stunning right-wing victory triggered leftist meltdown and street rioting.
Refusing to accept the election outcome, leftists and migrant gangs went on rampage in cities across France, social media posts suggest.

They’re boarding up windows in France due to polls indicating Le Pen’s party will win the election they’re having today. While the left will go nuts for a week or so, Le Pen winning would be a massive moment in global politics.

Good news: LePen’s party wins big
More good news: LeBiden’s party is circling the drain
LeBiden’s party is circling the drain. Maybe the LeTrudeau, too. As Ross said, that big sucking ….sound might be the “Big Flush”
There’s a plumber’s truck someplace here in town. On the side it says a straight flush beats a royal house anytime and then the phone number of the plumber.
I think it actually says a royal flush beats a full house.
Either one beats holding deuces.
Very Interesting. Maybe best is yet to come.
Repeat after me: LePen, Farage, Trump.
Those who vote for these three are far right.
“Far right” – a pejorative term used by the globalists/NWO and their thug enforcers to describe normal, common-sense based people who are sick of the destruction of their society by the left and by Muslim immigrants who are not grateful in the least but rather are bent on imposing their hideous Shariah on everyone.
In reality LePen would be considered a liberal Democrat in America
Liberal Democrat nothing. She’s an outright socialist. Not just by American standards but even by European standards.
Far right just means you’re not a communist.
Returned from France last night, ( pro tip: Avoid Air France pasta) and the French are saying the same about the ‘far right’ as the libs are saying here about Trump, that they will shut down the media and arrest journalists
Don’t forget it started with Javier Milei in Argentina.
Left wing riots? C’mon man…those are just spontaneous mostly peaceful gatherings.
Kinetic street parties.
Why, combustion is so spontaneous it even has its own term.
They will start happening here the day after Trump is called the winner of the election. Prepare now. Don’t let this be another George Floyd Summer. Antifa does not own the streets. We do. Remind them with lethal force!
Populist movements making headway against self-dealing global elites …
… but Leftists never quit … National Rally won the first round … another round to come … and of course the rioting and looting.
Good luck to all of us.
Maybe the French cops will shoot arsonists and looters, unlike our cops.
577 Representatives for 65: million people.
435 Congressmen for over 315 million people.
Just thinking out loud
I have frequently said that we need to follow the Constitution and get as close to One Representative for 30,000 people.
With a population of 341,804,624, that would mean more than 11,000 Representatives
I would settle for perhaps 2,000. At least that would be closer representation. .
If nothing else, 11,000 representatives would certainly dilute the amount of graft money being paid by various interests.
Or, thinking out loud, return nearly all domestic issues to the states where they belong?
The constitution doesn’t say that. 30K is a minimum, not a target.
Hopefully we can flush Dems and all their affiliate’s, clean house in government to the tune of 50% or more, expel all illegals. with them taking their children., or seeing their children put up for adoption internationally.
Vigorously prosecute all criminals who have operated with impunity, Cancel nonprofit status of every group subverting America’s interests.
Ramp up full petroleum production.
What else?

Ignoring that it is very difficult to classify if DE Gaulle was a man of the right or left what about Meloni in Italy? Any definition of major European power that does not include Italy is a worthless list.
Meloni did not come close to forming a government on her own.
I didn’t count Italy as a big European power (that title is reserved for UK, France, Germany. ; Russia has isolated itself from the continental power play). And Meloni was far from getting majority on her own.
Having said that, de Gaulle 1958 is an interesting case, though not entirely.
A National Rally government would make it impossible for Jewish life in France and neighboring countries to continue, because it would ban all ritual slaughter of meat. France is too big for it to be practical to import all its kosher meat, and the Jewish community in Belgium already depends on imports from France. Jews considering becoming observant would have to either become vegetarian or pay at least double the price for meat, which would be a strong incentive to drop observance or not to take it on. It would effectively be yet another expulsion of the Jews from France, just like so many in medieval times.
Wouldn’t halal meat also be considered the product of ritual slaughtering? It’s hard to believe that the NR party would be so tactless and tactically foolish as to give France’s however-many million, already restive, belligerent and subversive Muslims another excuse to engage in mayhem and violence.
NR wants more Moslem mayhem and violence, the better to justify repressive measures against Islam.
The whole point of the ban on slaughter would be to ban halal, and thus encourage Moslems to leave the country. The Jews would just be collateral damage.
But not regretted collateral damage. Remember that NR started out as an openly racist and antisemitic party; Ms Le Pen Jr has worked hard to shed that image, but not always successfully. So to many in the NR if a blow against Moslems can hurt the Jews too, so much the better.
You beat me to it…..
Are you forgetting about Halal meat too?
No, I’m not forgetting about it. Why would I be forgetting about it? What could make you think that? The point is that this legislation that Le Pen promised to enact would destroy the possibility of a Jewish community existing in France. Therefore no Jew could possibly vote NR, no matter what. NR is a greater threat to Jews than the Moslems are.
Pretty sure Jews in France will deal with importing meat and staying among the living–because the islamophilics on the Euroleft will have the camps running again if they keep power –because Allah wills it.
lets see how they deport their imported enemies
the ones that actually are violent
not those that want to assimilate and live in peace
She endeavoured to extract it from its far-right roots, as well as censuring controversial members like her father, who was suspended and then expelled from the party in 2015.[22] Following her election as the leader of the party in 2011, the popularity of the FN grew.[23] By 2015, the FN had established itself as a major political party in France.[24][25] Sources traditionally label the party as far-right.[6] However, some media outlets have started to refer to the party as “right-wing populist” or “nationalist right” instead, arguing that it has substantially moderated from its years under Jean-Marie Le Pen.[13]
so even some lefty msm cant deny that le pen is more centrist then they would care to admit to
