Far right makes historic gains in French Senate
The French right-wing party "National Rally," led by Marine Le Pen, achieved significant gains in the French Senate elections, winning 14 seats, allowing it to form the first far-right parliamentary bloc in the upper house in its history. The party recorded a noticeable increase after securing 9 new seats in Sunday's elections, while its allies from the "Union of the Right for the Republic" gained two seats, bringing the total to 14. These results come ahead of the presidential elections scheduled for next year, as Le Pen seeks to capitalize on the progress to strengthen her party's position, although the balance of power within the council suggests that the main parties will remain relatively unchanged. These results are considered a historic victory for the far-right in France.
