According to recent polls, the alliance headed by Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally (RN) party would secure the most votes in the first round of early general elections in France.

According to an Ipsos survey for the daily Le Parisien and Radio France, the RN will receive 31.5% of the vote in the first round of elections, which will take place on June 30. The People's Front, comprised of left-wing and ecological parties, will receive 29.5% of the vote.

The poll predicts that the Macron alliance will receive 19.5% of the vote, placing them in third place.

According to a poll conducted by the Odoxa Institute, the People's Front is expected to receive 28%, the ruling party 19%, and the RN 33%.

The People's Front was ranked second with 28%, followed by the ruling party's alliance at 22%, and the RN coalition at 35% in a different Opinionway-Vae Solis study.

Demonstrations have been called for by several civil society organizations, especially feminists, in a number of places, including Lille, Lyon, and the capital, Paris.

France's National Rally to fall short of majority in elections: Polls

A public gathering in Paris has been called by the "Alertes Feministes" organization, which groups over 180 associations and unions fighting sexism and advancing women's rights in France, to denounce the "false feminism of the far-right" and the "real danger it represents for women's rights."

Danger zone

A large number of protesters gathered at the Place de la Republique in Paris, holding banners that read, "A Feminist Future is Possible" and "Feminist Unions Against the Far-Right," and leading marches while brandishing signs denouncing the nation's growing far-right movement.

The RN won a landslide victory with 31.37% of the vote in the French leg of the European Parliament elections, trailed only by Macron's Renaissance party with 14.60%.

Earlier this month, Macron dissolved the National Assembly and called for a snap legislative election following his group's poor performance in the European Parliament elections. The first round of voting is scheduled for June 30, with the second round set for July 7.

He acknowledged earlier this month that the outcome of the EU elections is "not a good result for parties who defend Europe," noting that far-right parties in France had managed to take almost 40% of the vote.

"Far-right parties... are progressing everywhere in the continent," he said. "It is a situation to which I cannot resign myself."

Many in France remain baffled as to why Macron called an election just weeks before the country hosts the Olympics, risking the possibility of the far-right National Rally (RN) leading the government and 28-year-old Jordan Bardella becoming prime minister.
