In preparation for the second round of voting, the government mobilized 30,000 police officers, with 5,000 stationed in Paris, expecting potential riots from the far-left if the populist right repeated its success in the first round of the snap elections called by French President Macron.

 

Radicals resembling Antifa, known for their black bloc tactics, were caught on camera setting fire to street furniture and bicycles, launching fireworks and other projectiles at law enforcement in the streets of the French capital. Protesters were also seen brandishing Palestinian and Antifa flags.

While the New Popular Front alliance, a mishmash of socialists, radical environmentalists, and outright communists, clinched the most seats, projected to secure between 187 and 198 seats in the National Assembly, the far-left radicals still showcased their penchant for violence by clashing with the police in Paris and other French cities such as Rennes, Lyon, Marseilles, and Nantes on Sunday evening.

Emmanuel Macron issued a foreboding proclamation, warning that voting for either the populist right or the far-left socialist-communist alliance would lead to "civil war" in France. To stop the ascent of the National Rally, Macron allied with the leftist New Popular Front for the second round of elections.

As the nation braces for a period of political instability, political wrangling is anticipated to form a governing coalition, with Prime Minister Gabriel Attal announcing his resignation on Sunday evening. In response to the election alliance, far-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon has demanded Macron's resignation or the appointment of a New Popular Front member as the next prime minister.

Marine Le Pen, along with her deputy Jordan Bardella, and the disputed leader of the center-right Les Républicains Éric Ciotti, have decried Macron's election pact with the far-left, labeling it an "alliance of dishonor."

Contrary to the fear-mongering propagated by Macron, the French political establishment, and the mainstream media regarding the rise of the so-called "far-right," it has been Macron's newfound leftist allies such as Mélenchon who have openly condoned political violence and riots in France.

"The extreme left has been violent for years… and this completely unpunished. Macron said: ‘Either me or the chaos’. He is the chaos! We, on the other hand, embody calm and order. The RN has never organized a demonstration against election results, has never prevented an opponent’s rally, and has never turned the National Assembly into a zone to be defended." - Marine Le Pen
