French municipal elections on March 15 gave political parties an early test of their electoral machines before next year’s presidential race, with a first round of voting for mayors and their teams across France. Although largely focused on grassroots concerns, the voting was being scrutinized for hints of whether the far-right National Rally party of Marine Le Pen is continuing to gain ground. #frenchpolitics #frenchelections #frenchfarright 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
