00:00As the polls predicted, the National Assembly is in the lead in the first round of legislative elections in France.

00:07The far-right party, led by Jordan Bardella, collected 33% of the votes, according to the estimates of the results.

00:14The left coalition, the New Popular Front, came in second with 28%.

00:19We find in Paris our correspondent Tamara, a convincing and historic victory in the first round for the National Assembly.

00:28Yes, not only a historic score, the National Assembly has almost doubled the score it had obtained in the legislative elections of 2022.

00:36So we're talking about a spectacular victory, and it's official, it puts it in the lead.

00:42And it is, from tonight, the party to beat for the second round.

00:47So, obviously, there were tears in the eyes of the National Assembly tonight,

00:53starting with Marine Le Pen, who is the parliamentary leader of the National Assembly.

00:59She was in Hénin-Beaumont, where she was re-elected as a deputy in the first round.

01:05But nothing is won for her prodigy, Jordan Bardella, who is the candidate to become Prime Minister next week.

01:14That's really it, Claudine, which is at stake.

01:17I say nothing to play, because as there is, and it's complicated, but it's important in many circumstances.

01:23Yes, the National Assembly came in the lead tonight, but the vote is so fragmented

01:28that it will require what we call here triangles for the second round.

01:32So three-way struggles here, it's quite rare, and there are a lot this year.

01:36So three-way struggles between the National Assembly, the left coalition, which came in second,

01:41and the party in the middle, Emmanuel Macron's presidential majority.

01:46So Marine Le Pen tonight, whatever her jubilee,

01:52was unequivocal when she went on stage to address the French

01:56and plead her case by asking her to give Jordan Bardella an absolute majority,

02:03nothing less, so that her party can govern, but govern without confusion, without equivocation and without compromise.

02:10We can listen to her.

02:12In a democracy, nothing is more normal and healthy than political alternation.

02:17To start this alternation, to lead the reforms the country needs,

02:22we need an absolute majority, so that Jordan Bardella is, in eight days,

02:26appointed Prime Minister by Emmanuel Macron.

02:29Tamara, it's interesting, because this absolute majority that Marine Le Pen wants to get

02:35will define the strategy of the other parties next week.

02:39Yes, and the strategy, it's summarized in one sentence,

02:43and it's to do everything to block the National Assembly.

02:47The People's Front, this great left coalition, which came in second tonight,

02:52calls for blocking.

02:53That means heartbreaking choices, but necessary.

02:56That's how they presented it, to remove candidates who came in third in circumstances

03:01to maximize their chances of blocking the way to the National Assembly.

03:07It's also the directive that was given by Gabriel Attal,

03:11the Prime Minister of France, who was visibly shaken, but quite combative.

03:17He knows he has very little chance of remaining Prime Minister next week,

03:21but he refuses to throw the sponge.

03:23We can listen to him.

03:25The lesson of tonight is that the far right is at the doorstep of power.

03:30In our democracy, the National Assembly has never risked, like tonight,

03:34being dominated by the far right.

03:37And so, our goal is clear.

03:40To prevent the National Assembly from having an absolute majority in the second round,

03:45to dominate the National Assembly, and therefore to govern the country

03:49with the funest project that is its own.

03:52So the electoral campaign is resuming tonight.

03:55An alliance, a resignation.

03:57We're really getting into the case-by-case and the strategy.

04:00We could meet again next week, Claudine, with several scenarios.

04:04A government of the far right, absolute or not.

04:07Or a government formed by the centre and the left,

04:10who don't have a common program, but common interests.

04:13It's unprecedented.

04:14France, the French, are really living in unprecedented moments.

04:18Thank you very much, Tamara, in Paris.

04:20Have a good evening.

04:21Goodbye.

04:22Goodbye.
