French Election Protests: Le Pen's National Rally Takes Early Lead

Tensions in Paris have risen after Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally party secured a strong lead in the first round of France’s parliamentary elections. They gained a 33.14% share of the vote, nearly double what they achieved in the first round two years ago. Thousands of left wing supporters gathered in Paris' Republique plaza on Sunday to protest the results. Individuals set off fireworks in the plaza and in the streets of the capital. Some voiced their concerns about the first round outcome, fearing that the country is moving towards extremism. #france #election #paris Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/ODNsubs TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ondemandnews Twitter: https://twitter.com/ODN Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ODN/ If you wish to purchase any of our clips for commercial use, please visit: http://www.itnproductions.co.uk/news/
