Abstract

Marine Le Pen's National Rally is working to secure an absolute majority in the final round of France's legislative election, while rival parties are strategizing to prevent the far-right party from gaining power. President Emmanuel Macron's centrist group and the left-wing New Popular Front alliance have withdrawn their candidates from certain runoffs to avoid splitting the vote against the far right. The National Rally is seeking allies to help it win a majority in the lower house of parliament in order to implement its program, which includes reversing the government's pension reform and reducing certain aid for foreigners. The election on Sunday will determine whether voters prefer Macron's pro-business, pro-Europe vision or Le Pen's agenda of cutting migration and undoing some of Macron's reforms.
