France election 2024: Voters express concern over potential National Rally majority

In a closely watched parliamentary election in France, voters participated in the second round amid concerns over the rise of the far-right National Rally party. The first round of the election saw the party making significant gains, followed by a left-wing alliance and President Emmanuel Macron's centrist coalition.

"We don't have a choice, we don't have much choice between less extreme people and those who are opposed to the centre-left, and that is essentially the government," voter Phillipe said.

Meanwhile, Corrine Levy, a veterinarian from Annecy, shared worries about the possibility of the National Rally gaining an absolute majority and said, "I am worried because we say to ourselves that in any case, we must not let the National Rally pass. That's all, otherwise we won't be able to govern, and what's more, it's tragic. I don't want the National Rally to have absolute majority.”

Today's run-off elections will determine whether the National Rally could secure an outright majority in France's parliament, potentially bringing the far right to power for the first time since the Second World War.
