PARIS: Emmanuel Macron's centrist camp and a left-wing alliance were battling on Monday (Jul 1) to prevent the far right from taking an absolute majority and control of France's government, after the president's gamble on early parliamentary elections backfired.
The far-right National Rally (RN) of Marine Le Pen won a resounding victory in the first round of voting on Sunday, with Macron's centrists trailing in third place behind the left-wing New Popular Front.
