“French Voter Turnout Soars in Parliamentary Elections, Making Waves for Macron’s ‘En Marche'”

French voters showed high participation in the parliamentary elections, with a turnout of 65.5%. This is lower than initial estimates but significantly higher than the 2022 elections. The National Assembly consists of 577 members and the second phase of elections is scheduled for July 7th. “En Marche” has the potential for a significant majority, but the extent of their success and potential “cohabitation” remains uncertain. Emmanuel Macron’s presidency may be defined by this dynamic, per international media.
