Macron faces tough battle for control of parliament as France votes

The second stage of voting in the French legislative elections concluded today.
The turnout was 18.99% till midday. Opinion poll organizers predict that French President Emmanuel Macron will win most of the seats.

Opinion surveys also indicate that the extreme right will have the most legislative success in decades.
After five years of unrivaled authority since his first election triumph in 2017, the president is poised to start a new period of compromises.
