The second round of legislative electionshas started in France. The polls opened at 8 a.m. on Sunday and will close at 6 p.m., 8 p.m. in large urban centers.
Is about a crucial second round which could give a historic victory to the National Rally of Marine Le Pen and the young Bardellagame of extreme rightor produce a hung parliament that could cause unprecedented political stagnation
The first electoral round last Sunday showed the best result in history for the National Group. If support for Macron’s weak centrist majority dwindles further, the president would be forced to share power with one or more parties that are now in oppositionopposed to most of his liberalist and pro-EU economic policies.
Record participation: 26.63% at 12:00 p.m.
The participation is once again a record in the legislative elections in France: 26.63% at noon, according to data from the Ministry of the Interior. It had been 25.90% at the same time in the first round. Such a high figure has not been recorded since 1981.
Such a high figure increases uncertainty about the outcome of the vote. Below is the trend in legislative participation over the last 30 years.
