Left-wing alliance projected to win most seats in French election, as far-right underperforms

Whatever the outcome, macron's 7-year political experiment with pro-business policies aimed at boosting the economy and reforming the bloated welfare state will be dented. he has ruled out resigning..

An alliance of left-wing parties were projected to win the most seats in France's parliamentary elections, exit polls showed Sunday, in a surprise defeat for Marine Le Pen's National Rally party , as voters opposed to her far-right policies appeared to heed calls from other groups to block her party from power.

French voters also appeared to punish President Emmanuel Macron's centrist party in the midst of the unexpected results, though not as much as pre-vote polls and political experts expected.

Exit polls across the country projected that the New Popular Front, a leftist bloc led by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, won up to 215 seats in France's 577-seat National Assembly, followed by up to 170 seats for Macron's centrist bloc, according to the poll, carried out by Ipsos Talan. National Rally came third, securing as many as 152 seats.

Official results were due later Sunday night.

The outcome, if the exit polls are accurate, does not immediately answer the question of which political grouping will be able to form France's next government. And whatever the result, Macron's job as president is not in jeopardy. France splits its political executive role between president and prime minister, with the former traditionally overseeing foreign policy and defense and the latter's portfolio more domestic in nature.

Prep for the polls: See who is running for president and compare where they stand on key issues in our Voter Guide

Because none of the blocs won an absolute majority there is likely to be a period of haggling until a coalition is formed, possibly, though not necessarily, with Mélenchon as France's new prime minister. The election was called by Macron after his party performed poorly in European Union elections last month.

"The president has to bow and admit this is a defeat," Mélenchon said Sunday.

The vote is taking place against the backdrop of deep anxiety in France over immigration, growing fears over crime and persistent worries about inflation-hit household budgets. The election has also cast a shadow over the Paris Olympic Games , which kick off in less than three weeks.

Pooping in Olympic river? Not even the 2024 Paris games can bring divided France together

"This vote is about putting France back on the right track," said Jonathan Rodrigues, 29, a butcher from Seine-et-Marne, southeast of Paris, who supports the National Rally party, ahead of the vote.

Rodrigues said Macron's government has been a "total farce."

The National Rally party scored historic gains in a first-round vote a week ago, which raised the specter of France's first far-right government since World War II. The party's origins trace back to France's pro-Nazi Vichy government. However, if the exit polls are accurate, voters in France threw their support behind the New Popular Front, which is comprised of a wide spectrum of leftist parties from far-left to centrist, on Sunday to prevent France from having a far-right government. The National Rally is jointly led by Le Pen and her 28-year-old protégé Jordan Bardella, who she wanted to install as prime minister.

Speaking to supporters after the exit poll was released on Sunday, Bardella criticized what he called the "unnatural" and "dishonorable alliance" that has "deprived the French people" of a National Rally victory.

"Tonight," he said, "these alliances throw France into the arms of the far-left of Jean-Luc Mélenchon."

Le Pen has long argued that France has been held back by EU policies on everything from farming to border security. She's claimed NATO has been a destabilizing alliance that has antagonized Russia. She's repeatedly expressed admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin and endorsed former President Donald Trump ahead of his 2016 election. French media have spent years investigating Le Pen's financial links to Moscow, claims she strenuously denies.

France decides: Why is the far-right so popular?

Sunday's outcome could mean the election ends in deadlock, a so-called hung Parliament − a chaotic scenario where the New Popular Front is the dominant legislative force in the National Assembly but unable to pass laws without forming ad-hoc coalitions with other parties.

Macron's seven-year political experiment with pro-business policies aimed at boosting France's economy and reforming its bloated welfare state is dented. But the 46-year-old former banker and management consultant, known internationally in recent years for his non-stop efforts to garner diplomatic attention for Ukraine since Russia's invasion, has ruled out resigning. His term does not expire before 2027.

Raising the retirement age, solidarity with Israel

In France, Macron has angered many for his attempts to reform the nation's public services and welfare policies, including its retirement age . He also drawn ire from left-wing voters critical of him for pushing through legislation with measures aimed at reforming residency and citizenship tests that won the approval of the far right. He has expressed "unreserved solidarity" with Israel over its war with Hamas in Gaza and called for ceasefires.

They see him as "elitist, arrogant" and out of touch with the France's lower and middle classes, said Jean-Yves Camus, an expert on far-right politics at the Paris-based French Institute for International and Strategic Affairs,

Camus said that many far-right voters in France claim that they see in Le Pen and Bardella politicians "who speak common sense" on issues from the economy to immigration. But he believes that they often fail to take into account that "politics in a country like France, which is so divided, is really difficult."

"What is common sense when it comes to immigration?" he said.

"You can't just put borders up or a fence up and say, 'we're not allowing any more immigrants.'"

In his address, Bardella said Macron had pushed France toward "uncertainty and instability," adding that "for months now a wind of hope has picked up and it will never stop blowing. It all begins tonight."

French election first-round results show gains for far-right, drawing warnings ahead of decisive second-round

By Elaine Cobbe

July 1, 2024 / 10:40 AM EDT / CBS News

Paris  — A far-right, anti-immigration party is in reach of becoming the biggest political force in France after the first of two rounds of voting in parliamentary elections drew a historically high turnout. The first-round results in the French election are the latest evidence of surging support for the far-right in Europe, but the real test of that trend nationally will come when France opens the polls for the second, decisive round of voting in one week.

French President Emmanuel Macron took a huge gamble by calling the snap election this year, and he's now issued a battle cry urging the nation's voters to come out in force on July 7 to stop the far-right, which made its best showing ever in round one, from rising to the very top of government in round two.

Turnout was unusually high as many voters said they either wanted to block the far-right, or just get rid of Macron's government.

Far-right leader Marine Le Pen said her National Rally party had "virtually wiped out" Macron's centrist power base in the first-round Sunday vote. National Rally took a third of the votes in that round.

Macron called these elections hoping to rally voters  against the far-right, after parties like Le Pen's fared well in Europe-wide elections for the European parliament, which governs the European Union, in the spring.

"President Macron made a colossal error in judgment," political analyst Douglas Webber told CBS News. Webber said the first round results show Macron could be forced to share power with National Rally — a party that is anti-immigration, wants to roll back the power of the European Union, and has even threatened to pull France out of the U.S.-led NATO military alliance.

If the National Rally wins enough votes in the second round, party president Jordan Bardella could find himself in the country's second-top job, as prime minister. He wants to pull back on France's support for Ukraine in the face of Russia's ongoing invasion.

"That would be a very good result for Vladimir Putin, a very bad result for Ukraine and President Zelenskyy," said Webber.

That outcome is not a foregone conclusion. The French have a history of voting more ideologically in the first round — "with their hearts," as the saying goes — but then more tactically, "with their heads," in the second round.

Macron and the thousands of left-wing supporters who gathered in central Paris on Sunday to voice their concern at the far-right's performance will be hoping that's the case, and that the actual gains in parliamentary seats won't mirror the windfall seen for Le Pen and Bardella's party in round-one.

"Right now, we have big problems with the right wing," said one young woman before the results came in. "We want more democracy, you know, we don't want people to feel afraid or scared about living in France."

But the political winds across much of the continent have been blowing decidedly to the right for more than a year. Should the far-right parties win big in France on July 7, Webber warned it could leave a power "vacuum at the heart of Europe," which has been dominated for years by the influence of its two biggest economies, France and Germany.

"No one, or no other group of countries, could conceivably fill the role that's historically been played by France and Germany," he said. "That's, of course, the main reason why so many people, observers, are extremely worried."

Among the worried Europeans voicing their angst on Monday was Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who said the first-round results in France indicated a "very dangerous" political turn.

"This is all really starting to smell very dangerous," said Tusk, who suggested without offering specific evidence that "Russian influence" was behind the rise of "many parties of the radical right in Europe."

"Even the complete victory of the radical right of Ms. Le Pen's camp does not signal the loss of power by the center represented by President Macron," Tusk told reporters. "But it is a very clear sign of what is happening not only in France, but also in some other countries, also in Western Europe."

Tusk said France "will be forced to confront these radical forces," and he warned that, "foreign forces and enemies of Europe are engaged in this process, hiding behind these movements."

Macron has called on voters from across the political spectrum to block the far-right's precipitous rise with their votes in the final round on Sunday.

French rider fined for stopping to kiss wife at Tour de France, world time trial champion Remco Evenepoel wins stage seven

Sport French rider fined for stopping to kiss wife at Tour de France, world time trial champion Remco Evenepoel wins stage seven

Julien Bernard was fined 200 Swiss Francs for waving to the crowd and stopping to kiss his wife during the time trial.

World time trial champion Remco Evenepoel won his first Tour de France stage and consolidated his spot in second place overall with victory on stage seven.

What's next?

Saturday's stage eight will take the peloton on a hilly ride to Colombey-les-Deux-Églises, the home and final resting place of former French president Charles de Gaulle.

French rider Julien Bernard looked to be having the time of his life during the Tour de France time trial on stage seven.

The 32-year-old 10-year World Tour veteran was greeted by an army of supporters on the only climb of the 25.3km course, soaking up their adoration as he waved and smiled.

"It was a crazy stage, I had been waiting for it for months," Bernard, who was born less than 200km to the west of where the stage took place, told media at the finish.

"In modern cycling, it's not easy to stop and see your family, but here, with a time trial, it was perfect because I could take the time to savour it. And I savoured it.

"In a sports career, that's something."

He even found time to stop and kiss his wife, who was roadside with his son.

"The kiss to my wife? Of course it was intentional. That moment will only happen once in my life, so I wanted to enjoy it as much as possible," continued the Lidl-Trek rider. "She's the one who organised everything, we have to pay tribute to her for that."

Despite the Tour de France official X feed basking in the reflected joy Bernard's supporters showered upon him, the Tour commissaires did not see the funny side, slapping the Lidl-Trek rider with a 200 Swiss Franc ($330.50) fine.

Not that Bernard cared.

"Sorry @UCI_cycling for having damaged the image of the sport," he wrote in French on X with a screenshot of his misdemeanour.

"But I want to pay 200CHF [Swiss francs] every day and relive this moment."

Bernard, who sits in 39th place overall, 20 minutes and 41 seconds behind race leader Tadej Pogačar, recorded the 61st-fastest time on the stage, averaging 47.3kph even with his momentary stop.

Remco races hard to claim victory

Race-against-the-clock specialist Remco Evenepoel displayed impressive power and precision in winning the Tour de France's first time trial on Friday.

In his slipstream was every other contender for the yellow jersey, including holder Tadej Pogačar.

Despite a small problem with his bike close to the finish that cost him a few seconds, the Tour debutant mastered the 25-kilometre stage in the Burgundy Grand Crus wine country to dominate his first win at cycling's biggest race.

Evenepoel clocked 28 minutes, 52 seconds to beat Pogačar by 12 seconds. Primož Roglič was third, 34 seconds behind.

World time trial champion Evenepoel, clad in the white jersey for the best young rider in the race instead of the rainbow jersey, has now won stages at all three grand tours — the Giro d'Italia, Tour and Vuelta.

Evenepoel, who was first at all intermediate checkpoints, stayed in second place in the general classification, 33 seconds behind Pogačar. Two-time defending champion Jonas Vingegaard was third overall, 1:15 behind.

Pogačar added 25 seconds on Vingegaard, taking his revenge from last year's time trial in Combloux where the Slovenian was at the receiving end of a sobering beating by the Dane. Vingegaard, however, did not lose too much time and the gap between them was not that big with more than two weeks of hard racing remaining.

"I gained time on Primož and on Jonas and the other guys, I can be really happy," Pogačar said.

"I need to keep an eye on Remco now, he is a bit closer. They can show good legs in the next mountain stages. Still a long way to go."

Pogačar collected his 26th yellow jersey. One more and he'll join Vingegaard in 15th spot on the all-time ranking for the most days at the top of the general classification.

There was a big question mark over Vingegaard's form before the start following the crash that wreaked havoc with his season. Vingegaard was hospitalised for nearly two weeks in Spain in April following a high-speed crash in the Tour of the Basque Country . He sustained a broken collarbone and ribs and a collapsed lung.

Evenepoel has been regarded as a cycling prodigy for years. A versatile rider, he has won the 2022 Vuelta and classics after recovering from a horrific crash during a race in Italy in 2020.

He won the world time trial last year and the road race in Wollongong in 2022 . He needed surgery this season after breaking a collarbone and shoulder blade in the same crash that hampered Vingegaard at the Tour of Basque Country.

The two-time world champion will lead Belgium's men's team in road cycling at the Paris Olympics.

"As for the rest of the Tour de France, I believe Tadej is going to be unreachable," Evenepoel said.

"But this is cycling, you never know what can happen. The further into the race we go, the better I will feel, so I'll focus more on the podium because I feel I have the legs for it."

The stage took riders on forest roads and through vineyards on a mostly flat terrain. The short climb of the Côte de Curtil-Vergy after 12 kilometres added a dose of pain on the way to the finish in Gevrey-Chambertin.

Tucked in a perfect aerodynamic position, Evenepoel went all out in the descent, reaching an impressive speed of 87.3 kph, according to the NTT Data trackers.

"The climb was pretty tough, because I wanted to start fast but I wanted to keep something," Evenepoel said. "The descent was technical and fast, you have to do it well. I enjoyed every metre of this TT."

He slowed with about 2.5 kilometres left, thinking he had a puncture, but quickly realised everything was fine and rekindled his effort.

"Maybe somebody from the public dropped a glass or hit a fence, it made the same sound as a puncture," he added. "I was a bit scared, but after few metres I knew nothing was wrong. I kept pushing even with the scare, fearing that maybe it was a slow puncture."

There will be a second time trial on the final day of the race on July 21, a 34-kilometre trek between Monaco and Nice — the first final stage time trial since 1989 when American Greg LeMond overhauled a 50-second deficit to Frenchman Laurent Fignon to win the overall prize by just eight seconds, the tightest winning margin in history.

Saturday's Stage 8 will take the peloton on a hilly ride to Colombey-les-Deux-Églises, the home and final resting place of former French president Charles de Gaulle.

In Maps View the results in each of the 577 constituencies of the Assemblée Nationale. Our map will update live as results are counted.

French voters returned to the polls on Sunday, June 30, three weeks after President Emmanuel Macron surprised the nation by calling snap elections following his side's defeat in the European elections .

Over two rounds of voting, with the second one taking place Sunday, July 7, voters are choosing the 577 members of the Assemblée Nationale. In the first round, the top two candidates in each constituency qualify for the second round. Any candidate who receives a number of votes equivalent to at least 12.5% of the registered voters in the constituency also qualifies, meaning there can be three- or even four-way second rounds.

A candidate who obtains 50% of the vote in the first round wins the seat, as long as the number of votes they receive is equivalent to at least 25% of registered voters in the constituency. In that case, there is no second round.

We have added the mention "Withdr." to candidates who qualified for the second round but have decided to withdraw. Many of them have done so to support a better-placed candidate, as part of a widespread effort from parties to beat the far right in as many districts as possible.
