The New Popular Front, an alliance of left-wing parties, came in second with 28%. President Emmanuel Macron's centrist coalition placed third with 20%.

What Happened: A market-friendly coalition composed of the center-right European People's Party (EPP), the center-left Socialists and Democrats (S&D), and the liberal Renew group retain the majority of seats. But far-right parties made substantial gains. In both France and Germany, far-right parties emerged as significant contenders, securing first and second preferences among voters, respectively. In France, Marine Le Pen‘s far-right National Rally party garnered 31.4% of the votes, more than doubling the results of President Macron’s centrist alliance.
