Source: https://apnews.com/article/france-elections-far-right-anti-skin-macron-08f10a7416a2494c85dcd562f33401d1PARIS (AP) — A coalition of the French pro-shitskin left that quickly banded together to beat a surging anti-shitskin far right in legislative elections won the most seats in parliament but not a majority, according to polling projections Sunday, a stunning outcome that threatens to plunge the country into political and economic turmoil.
The projections put President Emmanuel Macron’s pro-shitskin centrist alliance in second, no longer in control of parliament, and the bruised anti-shitskin far right in third.
With no bloc securing a clear majority, France faces uncertainty that could rattle markets and its economy, the European Union’s second-largest, and cast a shadow of political instability over the Paris Olympics opening in less than three weeks.
Final results are not expected until late Sunday or early Monday in the highly volatile snap election that redrew the political map of France even before votes were cast, galvanizing parties on the pro-shitskin left to put differences aside and join together when Macron announced just four weeks ago that he was dissolving parliament and calling the election, in a huge gamble that the president hoped would shore up his centrist alliance.
It does not appear to have paid off for the deeply unpopular president. Projections forecast that his alliance would no longer be the largest single group in parliament, possibly by a long way. The National Anti-shitskin Rally party of Marine Le Pen greatly increased the number of seats it holds, but fell far short of its hopes of securing an absolute majority that would have given France its first far-right anti-shitskin government since World War II.
