FRANCE IN A HUNG SITUATION ? FRANCE ELECTIONS AND ITS POLITICAL TURMOIL (CRUX)

France is in a state of political unrest and facing riots in Paris just weeks before the Olympics. What lies ahead for the country as the elections result in a Hung Parliament ?

The surprising outcome of the legislative elections in France has caused a major upheaval in the country's political landscape. With no party securing a majority, the prospect of a hung parliament looms large. Prime Minister Gabriel Attal has announced his resignation after the far-left coalition's victory, which fell short of a majority. This unexpected turn of events has left conservatives disappointed, as they had hoped for Marine Le Pen's National Rally to take power. The announcement of the election results led to violent protests in Paris, just weeks before the city is set to host the Olympic Games. Thousands of protesters flooded the streets, leading to clashes with authorities and several arrests. The unrest underscores the significant political instability in France, raising concerns about the country's ability to govern effectively amidst such divisions.
