Far-Right Surge Sparks Voter Concerns After Macron's Gamble Backfires in French Elections | France

Exit polls suggest Marine Le Pen's party having good chances of winning a lower house majority. This could happen with an estimated 1/3rd of a first-round vote. Macron's decision to call for another vote in three weeks seems to have backfired. Some French voters expressed that the projections worried them.
