According to post-urn closures, NUPES has won 149 seats on the left and has become the main opposition force in the National Assembly. Le Monde.
The Rassemblement National has achieved a historic result, winning 89 seats, allowing the far-right party to table motions of censure. The French parliamentary law allows for 56 members, and over 60 seats, a parliamentary party can submit bills to the Constitutional Council.
On the right, the Les Républicains (Republicans) group has lost 22 seats, with only 78 seats instead of their previous 100. The Republican Party may even be a supportive force for the presidential side in passing bills.
The French parliamentary elections were held with a relatively low turnout, and experts said President Macron could not gain an absolute majority in parliament.
