PARIS (AP) — A coalition on the left that came together unexpectedly ahead of France’s snap elections won the most parliamentary seats in the vote, according to polling projections Sunday. The surprise projections put President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist alliance in second and the far right in third.
The lack of majority for any single alliance plunged France into political and economic turmoil. Final results are not expected until late Sunday or early Monday in the highly volatile snap election, which was called just four weeks ago in a huge gamble for Macron.
The deeply unpopular president lost control of parliament, according to the projections. Marine Le Pen’s far right drastically increased the number of seats it holds in parliament but fell far short of expectations.
The snap legislative elections in this nuclear-armed nation and major economy will influence the war in Ukraine, global diplomacy and Europe’s economic stability.
France now faces the prospect of weeks of political machinations to determine who will be prime minister and lead the National Assembly. And Macron faces the prospect of leading the country alongside a prime minister opposed to most of his domestic policies.
The projections, if confirmed by official counts expected later Sunday or early Monday, plunge a pillar of the European Union and its second-largest economy into intense uncertainty, with no clarity about who might partner with President Emmanuel Macron as prime minister in governing France.

Okay, I take it all back.
You DO understand.
Okay you are not fat and smelly.
I was recently involved in a game of trivia with some friends. One of them asked me "Who won the first 'Tour de France?" Apparently my response of "The 7th Panzer Division under Erwin Rommel" was not the correct answer. ;>/
Be fair. Lots of Americans surrendered to rioters in 2020.
Surrendered by kneeling, by wearing masks, and in some cases, by voting for Biden, because they hoped it would placate the mob.
sundance has been spot on.
FTA you posted ... and, as he predicted ....
French President Emmanuel Macron has not outlasted every other EU leader without having a Pelosian cunning streak. Macron knows exactly what he is doing, and undoubtedly USAID/CIA operative Samantha Power is there in the background helping him execute it.
In the first round of the SNAP election, opposition leader Marine Le Pen’s National Rally party has made huge strides in becoming the predominant force in French politics. The National Rally gains around 34% of the seats, the left-wing Alliance party gets 28% of the seats, and Macron’s centrist party will suffer major loses with only 20% of the seats.
...
Macron will instruct his centrist seats, who lost, to organize their votes for the far-left socialists, thereby blocking the National Rally party from gaining a working majority. Just like the radical leftists in the USA (Democrats), Macron’s followers will do exactly what they are told to do.
[Remember the Alaska primary?] This two-round approach was the insurance policy Macron had built into his call for the snap election.
The Nationalists will act flummoxed, stunned, jaw-agape, just like good little French Republicans. The French people will wonder what happened just like American conservatives. Wash – Rinse- Repeat.
You condem millions of more Jews to death. Now, we have a problem. You are approaching jackass teritory.
All wars ever buy is time. We got almost 80 good years of general peace and prosperity in Western Europe, which benefitted us at least as much as the countries on our side of the Iron Curtain. Four generations is about as long as anyone can expect, until good has to put on its boots against evil again.
Nor for that matter would be "Charles Martel."
Those Jews will go home to Israel, created in the wake of 6 Million innocent Jews being slaughtered. NEVER AGAIN!
Stop with the personal insults. You made a dumb anti- Jewish comment. Own it.
Hitler didn't exactly like Islamists. Rather, he thought Islam was useful.
Here is what I've read about Hitler's views on Islam.
Hitler considered Christianity a source of weakness. He thought Islam was more of a warrior religion. And so Hitler lamented that the Arabs hadn't briefly conquered, and then converted Europe.
Hitler believed that any Arab conquest of Europe would have been short lived. That the Aryan's natural superiority would have led to Aryan Muslims overcoming and conquering Arab Muslims, resulting in a more viral, warlike Aryan Europe.
Hitler saw that Christianity was Jewish at it’s root. His ultimate plan was to destroy it. THE SCARY THING IS THAT IS HAPPENING IN EUROPE.
—”So wait, the French changed their minds from last week”
An old cliche says the French vote with their heart in the first round and vote with their wallet in the second round.
Nothing unusual.
Of course you were wrong as you gave an incorrect answer. The actual German general was General Guderian CO of the XIX Motorized Corps.
Do you really consider NR a conservative party? Aren’t they full on socialist?
” Final results are not expected until late Sunday or early Monday...”
Yet some votes in the U.S. take weeks to get finalized. Makes one wonder.
I hope the Jews go home to Israel quickly!
