PARIS — French far-right leader Marine Le Pen is confident her party will win an absolute majority in parliament, form a government and impose limits on what President Emmanuel Macron can do to support Ukraine, she said days before voting starts.
Marine Le Pen, President of the French far-right National Rally party parliamentary group, takes the stage to address party members after the polls closed during the European Parliament elections, in Paris, France, June 9, 2024.
However, the big unknown is whether the RN can win an absolute majority of 289 seats or more in the National Assembly. The latest poll, published on Wednesday by Ifop, projected it and its allies would get 220 to 260 seats. "I don't know what his reaction will be. Given his arrogance, will he put up with it for long?" she said in the interview published on Le Telegramme's website late on Wednesday.
"Jordan doesn't intend to pick a fight with him , but he's made the red lines clear. On Ukraine, the president will not be able to send troops."
