French legislative elections: More than 200 candidates exit runoff to block far-right • FRANCE 24
More than 200 centrist and left-wing candidates pulled out of France’s legislative election runoff by a Tuesday deadline, in a move President Emmanuel Macron hopes will block the far right from winning power. France votes on Sunday in the final round of snap legislative polls Macron called seeking a “clarification” in politics after his camp was trounced in European elections last month.

Sad
I see the left in France is like the left in the USA, doing everything possible to get and maintain absolute power regardless of the will of the people that they are supposed to represent. The left doesn't work for the people, they work for the global, neo-liberal elite. They are too afraid to let loose power by allowing the people to vote in the representation that the people want. The neo-liberal elites hate the people, they use the middle class, poor and minorities as pawns in their quest for global control
Smart move.
Will the french fall pray to this maneuver?
I am convinced the french are smarter than that!
I vote Brigitte for First Lady.😅
French far left are not patriots.
This is very disturbing and dishonest in my opinion, and it will make things worse for everyone in the short term future..
The right wing supporters will push back against this.. 😐
Basically an admission that France is becoming ungovernable. 🤡
It is extremely sad that many thousands of American's gave their lives to save France from the Germans and just a couple generations later the French government is giving France away to the millions of illegal immigrants pouring into France and the EU due to the Liberal agenda. The EU is just an generation away from completely losings its cultural identity if it isn't already too late!
Congrats to your ‘’democracy’’ 🤡🤡
The coalition of losers.
The No Brainer Alliance is off to fine start, will guarantee Le Pen winning the presidency in 2027 because cordon sanitaires do not work, they are at best a delaying tactic.
The far left extremists are attacking middle class all over the west for total control FWEF
Another slimy move by leftist.
So this is democracy?
Match fixing
If I was to vote I usually vote left or centre but this pisses me off and I would vote the the right just to make a point. Play fair this is playing dirty and I will make my voice heard
ANARCHY ENSURING- let the people decide, not the elite..
Way to show the electorate how much you trust them. Shame on the left wing political parties which are all of them except National Rally.
Can you not have the dubbed voice over the original voice? It's extremely annoying and difficult to listen to the English dub. Either put subtitles while playing the original French or mute the original French and only play the dub.
When they form the minority government it's gonna backfire so hard… I can already imagine them tanking all the ratings and after 2 years RN will get +10% to what it will have now…
Far left cowardice in action
An absolute ;gerrymandering' of democracy calculated to deny the French people their right of choice – this level of foul play WILL rebound on the 'status quo'. and may well ensure a Le Pen Presidency in 2027.
Why far right😢they are just right.the outer left is the biggest problem fore europe right now,there way is the way down and back not foreward
Hopefully Joe Biden will take a cue and get out of RFK's way so we don't have a far right in the US either.
