Marine Le Pen said on Friday, June 14, that her far-right party could win forthcoming snap parliamentary elections and form a "national unity government" if it did. "We have the possibility of winning these elections, of forming a national unity government... We need to pull France out of the rut," the former presidential candidate from the Rassemblement National (RN) party said.
"We will gather all French people – men and women of goodwill – who are aware of the catastrophic situation in our country," she said, adding it would be up to RN party leader Jordan Bardella to "choose his team" when the time came.
President Emmanuel Macron made the gamble of calling the two-round parliamentary elections on June 30 and July 7 after the RN scored more than double that of his political alliance in the European Parliament elections on Sunday. Macron has long said his objective was to keep the RN out of power.

PARIS (Reuters) - Jourdan Bardera, leader of France's far-right party National Coalition (RN), has said he will become prime minister unless the RN wins an absolute majority (majority) of seats in the National Assembly (lower house) elections. I made it clear that I would not.
Various opinion polls predict that although the RN will win the lower house election, it will not reach the majority needed to form a government on its own and pass legislation.
The RN has selected Bardera as its candidate for prime minister, and longtime party leader Marine Le Pen is expected to be its presidential candidate in 2027.

[Paris Kyodo] In response to the European Union's crushing defeat to far-right forces in the European Parliament elections, French President Emmanuel Macron suddenly announced that the first vote for the National Assembly (lower house, 577 seats) will be held on the 23rd, a week away. . The far-right party, the National Union (RN), is expected to maintain its dominance, with the left-wing coalition following suit. Mr. Macron's centrist ruling coalition is facing an uphill battle, and it is unclear whether the gamble on a snap general election for the House of Representatives will succeed or fail.
According to a public opinion poll published by Le Figaro on the 21st, 35% of people chose RN as their vote choice in the first round. Although it still ranks first, it has dropped 2 points compared to the survey released on the 17th. The left-wing coalition New Popular Front rose 1 point to 29%, while the ruling coalition rose 3.5 points to 21.5%.
