France faces political deadlock after left-wing shock surge
France faces a run of complex negotiations to form a government after an unexpected left-wing surge thwarted Marine Le Pen's far-right ambitions.
The election results showed the left-wing coalition securing 182 seats, Macron's centrist alliance with 168, and Le Pen's National Rally and allies with 143, according to the interior ministry data cited by Le Monde. Prime Minister Gabriel Attal announced his intention to resign, though it remains unclear if President Macron will accept it immediately given the challenges of forming a new government.
