France Prepares For The First Round Of Parliamentary Elections

HENIN-BEAUMONT, FRANCE - JUNE 28: An election poster of Marine Le Pen (outgoing MP) and Steeve Briois (Mayor of Henin-Beaumont) is displayed in the 11th constituency of Pas-de-Calais on June 28, 2024 in Hénin-Beaumont, France. Posters with images of legislative candidates are displayed in front of various polling stations, such as public schools and other municipal buildings. The first round of voting will take place on June 30, 2024, followed a week later by the second round on July 7, 2024. These elections are the result of the decision of the French president, Emmanuel Macron, to dissolve parliament after gains by the far-right party Rassemblement National, or National Rally during the recent European elections.
