00:00France faces a potential political deadlock after elections on Sunday, July 7.
00:06This after the leftist alliance takes the top spot, ahead of President Emmanuel Macron's
00:10centrist alliance and Marine Le Pen's right-wing Nationalist National Rally Party.
00:16No party wins a majority.
00:18Opinion polls predicted the RN would win in the second-round ballot but ends up in the
00:22third spot.
00:23The results are also a blow to Macron, who called the snap election after his ticket
00:27lost to the RN in European Parliament elections in early June.
00:32Following the results, the Place de l'Republic in Paris fill up with left-wing supporters
00:36playing drums, lighting flares and chanting,
00:38We've won, we've won.
00:40The election leaves Parliament divided in three big groups, the left, centrist and the
00:45far-right, with vastly different platforms and no tradition of working together.
