https://apnews.com/article/france-elections-far-right-macron-08f10a7416a2494c85dcd562f33401d1

French vote gives leftists most seats over far right, but leaves hung parliament and deadlock

But the right lost, Macron has been offered cooperation from the left, which is not what he sought by calling snap elections.
