French citizens are protesting across the country against the possible parliamentary majority of far-right leader Marine Le Pen in upcoming elections, prompted by Macron's defeat in European Parliament elections.
Anti-racism groups and left-wing parties organized over 150 protests against the far-right National Rally led by Le Pen, which claimed 31% of the European election vote, compared to Macron's allies.
Protesters set fires, blocked roads, and wore protective gear in cities like Paris, Marseille, and Nantes amid police confrontations, expressing concerns about the rise of the far-right in France.
The upcoming legislative elections on June 30 and July 7 pose a significant decision for French voters, as a potential far-right victory would have implications just before the Paris Olympics.
