Decisive round of the parliamentary elections in France
With initial calculations, it is estimated around 8:00 p.m. (20:00 hrs). French President Emmanuel Macron called for new elections after the triumph of the far-right party Rassemblement National (RN) in the European elections on June 9. In case of an absolute majority of right-wing populists in the election, he might be forced to make Jordan Bardella, their party chief, the prime minister.
The upcoming parliamentary election in France on a Sunday serves as a decisive round, with the crisis caused by the far-right party Rassemblement National's victory in the European elections on June 9 still lingering. If right-wing populists secure an absolute majority, it could lead to a significant shift in French education policy. Emmanuel Macron might then be compelled to consider Jordan Bardella, the party chief of RN, as the potential new prime minister.
