French Left Forms "Popular Front" to Contest Snap Election and Challenge Macron Policies

ai generated text

French President Emmanuel Macron has called for snap legislative elections on June 30 with a second round on July 7. The move comes after Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally (RN) won a significant victory in the European elections, garnering more than double the number of votes of Macron's centrist alliance. In response, France's four main left-wing parties - Socialist Party, Greens, Communists, and France Unbowed (LFI) - have agreed to form a "New Popular Front" (NPF) to contest the election on a common platform.

    1. That would make it possible to say that the Popular Front is not exclusively an agreement between political parties. It has to be something much broader.
