French PM Gabriel Attal Urges Nation to Block Far-Right in Elections

French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal emphasized on Sunday that no votes should be cast for the far-right National Rally party in the next round of France's parliamentary elections, aiming to prevent the party from gaining an absolute majority.

French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal said on Sunday that not one single vote should go to the far right National Rally party during next week's second round of France's parliamentary elections, after the latter was poised to win the first round.

"Not one single vote must go to the National Rally (...) The stakes are clear: to prevent the National Rally from having an absolute majority," he said after his and French President Emmanuel Macron's camp finished a distant third in the first round of the elections.
