The National Rally came in last in terms of seats in France’s parliament after a big win last week that spawned leftist protests around the country.

The leftists won the day with 182 seats, but they didn’t win enough to gain a majority. Meaning Macron will be able to govern if he can form a coalition with the leftist party.

Here’s more from the AP:

A leftist coalition, the New Popular Front, has won the most seats in the 2024 French legislative election, beating back a far-right surge but failing to win a majority.

The outcome leaves France facing the stunning prospect of a hung parliament and threatens political paralysis in a pillar of the European Union and Olympic host country.

Here are the official results from the second round. The leftist coalition has taken the most seats in parliament, with 182. Macron’s centrists have 168 seats. Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally have 143 seats after leading in the first round. No majority for anyone.

The unpopular Macron will have to form alliances to run the government.

Many voters decided that keeping the far right from power was more important than anything else.
