France holds snap parliamentary elections on Sunday, with the far-right National Rally party led by Marine Le Pen poised for a potential historic win. Polls show National Rally leading, followed by the left-wing alliance and President Macron’s centrists. The elections, called by Macron after the European Parliament vote, could reshape French politics. High turnout is expected, with results projected after polls close. The outcome may impact France’s stance on various issues, including support for Ukraine. AFP
