France’s legislative elections have concluded with a resounding loss for the country’s far-right party, but the left and centrist parties weren’t entirely victorious. Politicians in France are grappling with how to run the National Assembly after the leftist coalition New Popular Front won the most seats (182) in last week’s sudden elections. President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist alliance came in second, winning 168 seats, with the far-right National Rally (RN) coming in last at 143 seats. No party earned the 289 seats needed to hold an absolute majority in the chamber, which has 577 seats. While many European parliaments do not have a dominant party, it is the first time that a party in the country has not held the majority.
