France legislative elections: Far right could take power in Macron’s high-stakes vote — live updates
French president's gamble could give Marine Le Pen's National Rally control of the government.
Voters are casting their ballots on Sunday in the first round of what could be one of the most important legislative elections in France’s modern history.
French President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist coalition risks total annihilation, not only by the far-right National Rally (which polls show could be ruling the country as of next month), but also by the left.
