France's far right gains ground in Senate elections

Original: France's far right gains ground in indirect Senate elections

France's far right has made gains in indirect Senate elections, expanding its presence in the upper house of parliament. The results add to the party's momentum in French politics and may complicate President Emmanuel Macron's ability to secure majorities in the chamber, where senators are elected by local officials rather than directly by voters.

Why now: Fresh election results show the far right strengthening its institutional foothold in France.
