France, the scenarios of the vote. Le Pen, the message to Kiev on weapons against Russia –

No to the use of French weapons in Russia to help Ukraine. Marine Le Pen explains her party’s position in an interview with CNN on the eve of the runoff. If Jordan Bardella were to become prime minister, he would prevent Kiev from using long-range weapons supplied by Paris to hit targets in Russia, explains the RN representative, who then reiterates her no to sending French soldiers. “If Emmanuel Macron wants to send troops and the prime minister is once morest it, then we will not send troops to Ukraine. The prime minister has the final say.”

The spotlight is on France and Europe for the outcome of the second round of the legislative elections tomorrow. Markets and businesses are looking with concern at the potential alliances that might emerge in the followingmath of the vote, between a right-wing government, a coalition with the far left or a possible stalemate. With the game of ‘withdrawals’ an absolute majority for the Rassemblement National of Bardella and Le Pen should be excluded even though the RN will most likely confirm itself as the first party following having won 33.1% of the votes in the first round together with its ally Eric Ciotti.
