00:00Well, you can see here, this is the updated projections from this second round of voting.
00:06So what we can tell you is that here in pink is a new popular front that's a four-party
00:12left-wing coalition projected to pick up 171 to 187 seats.
00:19Emmanuel Macron's presidential majority, a three-party coalition, is projected to pick
00:24up 152 to 163 seats, making them potentially the second biggest party in Parliament.
00:31And then here is the far-right alliance, 134 to 152 seats, making them the third biggest
00:39party in the National Assembly.
00:41Just that magic number is 289.
00:45That is the majority needed, the number of seats needed for an absolute majority.
00:50That's clearly not the case.
00:51So what you have is really a very divided National Assembly, divided between these three
00:57coalitions who will somehow have to figure out how to govern together or govern at least
01:02going forward.
