The results of the senatorial elections published on Monday show that Marine Le Pen’s far-right party, the Rassemblement National (RN), will be able to form a parliamentary group in the French Senate for the first time in its history.

This breakthrough comes just over six months before the presidential election, providing a new political lever for Marine Le Pen and her party within the upper chamber of Parliament.

According to France 24, this development could enhance the visibility and influence of the RN in the French political landscape, particularly with the upcoming presidential election in view.
