"The second round was a true string of disasters for the party, particularly in areas that seemed within reach and were considered trophies, such as Marseille, Toulon and Nimes."
"The RN will take control over dozens of municipalities but it did not do as well as it had hoped."
"According to many polls, it is still in the lead to win next year's presidential election, regardless of whether Bardella runs or whether controversial former party leader Marine Le Pen does."
The National Rally, led by Jordan Bardella, initially celebrated a 'historic victory' after the first round of municipal elections. However, the second round revealed significant setbacks, with the party failing to achieve major victories in key areas like Marseille and Toulon.

The 'republican front' coalition opposing the RN continues to show effectiveness in local elections.
