Decision on direction: First round of the French parliamentary election is imminent

Macron's hope that the French would vote differently in a national election compared to the EU-wide ballot seems unlikely to be confirmed according to the polls. The President is elected until 2027. In the event of an absolute majority of Right-wing populists in Parliament after the election, he could be forced to make Jordan Bardella, the party chief, the Prime Minister.
