The Nouveau Front Populaire alliance of the left said Friday, June 14, it would break from President Emmanuel Macron's policies if it wins snap elections that could see the far right make major gains in parliament.

With the Rassemblement National (RN) expected to rack up dozens more seats and Macron's camp bleeding support, "it's going to be either the far right, or us," said Greens party leader Marine Tondelier, who joined the Socialists, the Communists and the radical left party La France Insoumise, along with a few minor parties, to form this new left-wing alliance.
