6:55Now PlayingFrance’s far right is in pole position after the first round of parliamentary elections that confirmed their dominance in French politics.
Supporters of Marine Le Pen’s anti-immigration National Rally (RN) cheered as she said the president’s “Macronist bloc has been all but wiped out”.
RN won 33.1% of the vote, with a left-wing alliance behind on 28%, and the Macron camp behind on 20.76%.
This marks the first time the far right has won the first round of a French parliamentary election.
“I aim to be prime minister for all the French people, if the French give us their votes,” said 28-year-old RN party leader Jordan Bardella.
