France heading to the polls in high-stakes snap parliamentary election
Briefly

Polls indicate the far-right National Rally (RN) in France led by Marine Le Pen could secure a significant lead in the parliamentary elections, potentially gaining an outright majority.
The New Popular Front (NFP) and Macron's centrist bloc are trailing behind the RN in polls, emphasizing the uncertainty of the election results.
Candidates are racing to warn voters about the far-right's controversial past, including ties to a Waffen-SS unit, to sway support away from the RN.
Strategic alliances and withdrawals might alter the outcome of the election, especially in the second round, to prevent the far-right party from achieving a majority.
