France Election Shock 🤯: Far-Right Squeezed as Left Surges

What a difference a week makes! 🌪️ France's snap election drama took a wild turn as Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally (RN) plunged from frontrunner to third place in Sunday's runoff—proving politics moves faster than a TikTok trend.

Just seven days ago, RN was popping champagne 🍾 after leading the first-round vote. But voters slammed the brakes on their momentum, splitting ballots to block a far-right government. The result? A reborn left-wing alliance (New Popular Front) clinched the most seats, while President Macron's centrist bloc grabbed second.

Now France faces a hung parliament 🧩 with no clear majority—a scenario some are calling “democracy in surround sound.” Analysts say the rollercoaster results reflect growing youth engagement and urban-rural divides. Stay tuned as coalition talks begin—this political thriller isn't over yet! 🎬
