France’s far-right takes lion’s share of first-round votes: What now? | DW News

From DW News.

France and the rest of Europe are waking up to the possibility of the far-right coming to power in one of the EU’s founding members.
Marine LePen’s National Rally has taken the largest share of the vote with 33% in the first round of snap parliamentary elections in France.

Macron is calling on voters to prevent the far-right from winning a governing majority in next Sunday’s decisive final round.
