French President Urges Caution in Interpreting Results of Legislative Elections

General

French President Emmanuel Macron has urged for “caution” in interpreting the results of the recent legislative elections.

It is essential to take a measured approach to the data, Macron emphasized, highlighting the complexity of the electoral landscape.

He noted that while initial numbers provide a snapshot, they don’t capture the full picture. The democracy thrives on careful consideration and informed decision-making, he added.

The second round of the elections, scheduled for next week, will determine the final composition of the National Assembly, and the President’s call for prudence underscores the uncertainties still ahead.

The right-wing National Rally party and its allies topped the results of the first round of elections, obtaining more than 33 percent of the voters’ votes, while the New Popular Front (left-wing alliance) came in second place with 28 percent of the votes, and the Presidential Alliance (centrist) came in third with 20 percent of the votes.
