Macron just lost his parliamentary majority, and Mélenchon's left-green alliance is set to win 150 to 180 seats. Gonna be hard to be Jupiter nowhttps://t.co/iwmafa1CfJ— Vincent Bevins (@Vinncent) June 19, 2022

This is a more thorough assessment.
Some thoughts (to be continued as the night goes on):1) Biggest news by far is that France's far-right finally has a bloc in parliament that matches its electoral strength. This is the logical conclusion of institutional normalisation, but 80+ députés for the RN is still huge.— Emile Chabal (@emile_chabal) June 19, 2022

Rachel Kéké, a hotel chambermaid who led a 22-month strike, was elected as an MP with France Insoumise.

Can't say I love the analysis but it's a neat summary.
"There is, finally, a resource of another order: hatred of the police – insofar as it is a driving force. When power lets loose its henchmen, two radically different results can follow: intimidation, or the tenfold multiplication of rage."https://t.co/IlZfsPp4Qm— Yukon Cornelius 🔥🇨🇦🔥 (@NeeedlesEye) March 30, 2023
