Marine Le Pen hails ‘historic victory’ as her party and allies win enough seats to form caucus just months ahead of presidential poll
The French far-right leader Marine Le Pen has said her 2027 presidential campaign will be boosted after her anti-immigration party, the National Rally (RN), and its allies secured a record 14 seats in partial senate elections this weekend.
Le Pen called the results a “historic victory” and “major milestone” after her party cleared the 10-seat threshold to be able to form a senate group for the first time, following an indirect vote by local officials including mayors and councillors.
The party’s progress in the senate will allow them higher visibility and more funding in the second house of parliament ahead next spring’s presidential election. Le Pen is currently polling high as Emmanuel Macron prepares to step down after ten years in office.

As an American living in France: I came here because France is better than this.
En tant qu’Américain vivant en France : je suis venu ici parce que la France est mieux que cela.
Tg américain de mes couilles. Occupe toi de ton cul avant de vouloir t’occuper de celui des autres. L’Américain progressiste qui fait de l’impérialisme a nous emmerdé avec ses opinions politiques alors que c’est un putain de touriste c’est non.
Sorry
Pas du tout, c’est la faute de les oligarches fachos, qui viennent principalement de mon pays.
Macron, mckynsey et cie ?
Any Frenchmen here to provide some context on this? Why are so many people voting for a criminal who is sponsored by the Kremlin?
Cause some issue became too big to be ignore like immigration violence and security but being politically implied into thoses issue make you right wing so only the right wing can answer to voter concern. So ppl vote right wing. Pretty easy to understand. And by comparaison with the other political force PF the country u can do far worse
