France's far-right National Rally surges in Senate elections
Original: France’s far-right National Rally surges in Senate elections
France's far-right National Rally has made significant gains in elections to the French Senate, an institution long dominated by mainstream conservative and centrist forces. The result marks a notable advance for the party of Marine Le Pen in a chamber where it previously held little representation. The surge is being read as another sign of the far right's growing foothold in French institutions following its recent national breakthroughs.
Why now: The far right's gains in a traditionally resistant chamber signal a continuing shift in French politics.
