In Marseille on July 7, 2024, amidst celebrations on the streets following the initial results of France's legislative election's second round, a veiled Muslim woman proudly holds a national flag. However, the atmosphere in France soured into violence and clashes overnight as rioters clashed with police following a surprise victory by the left-wing New Popular Front (NFP) in the parliamentary elections.
Meanwhile, thousands assembled at Place de la République in Paris to celebrate the unexpected victory of the country's left-wing party in the general elections. Initially, in the first round of elections, the right-wing National Rally (RN) had emerged victorious.
Thousands gather in Paris chanting, "Everyone hates the fascists" after France’s left-wing New Popular Front alliance and Macron’s centrist coalition annihilated Marine Le Pen and the far-right fascists.
