Representatives of ultra -right parties can access the highest state posts in the country. This was stated by French President Emmanuel Macron, commenting on the results of the first round of voting on early parliamentary elections.
According to the French Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ultra Parability of the National Association and its allies took first place with 33.15% of the vote. The following is the left alliance “New Popular Front”, having received 27.99% of the vote. The presidential coalition “Together for the Republic” gained 20.04%.
“We should not be mistaken. The extreme right are on the verge of the achievements of the highest posts,” the local media outlets quoted by the president said at a government meeting in the Champs Elysees.
The French leader said that “not a single voice should go to the extreme right.”
As the French media reports with reference to two ministers who participated in a meeting who wished to remain unnamed, the meeting was held in a tense atmosphere.
The elections in the European Parliament in France ended with a convincing victory of the extreme right -right party Marine Le Pen “National Association”. After the publication of the voting results, the French president announced the dissolution of the National Assembly and appointed early elections. The first tour was held on July 30, the second was scheduled for July 7.
