    For the French market, hung parliament ‘might be better outcome than to give power to far right or left

    Emmanuel Macron’s centrist camp and a left-wing alliance were on Monday battling to prevent the far right from taking an absolute majority and control of the government in a historic first after the French president’s gamble on early parliamentary elections backfired. The far-right National Rally (RN) party of Marine Le Pen won a resounding victory in the first round of the polls on Sunday, with Macron’s centrists trailing in third behind the left-wing New Popular Front coalition. As Macron and France’s left race to prevent a far-right takeover, FRANCE 24’s Annette Young is joined by Renaud Foucart, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Economics at Lancaster University Management School.
