NewzFrance's far-right National Rally (RN) party and its allies have achieved a significant breakthrough by securing a record 14 seats in the Senate elections. The results have effectively quadrupled the party's previous representation in the rightwing-dominated upper house of parliament.
Marine Le Pen hailed the outcome as a "historic victory." The gains provide the party and its allies with enough seats to form an official parliamentary caucus within the Senate.
The electoral advance takes place just months ahead of the upcoming presidential poll, marking a notable milestone for the far-right movement's institutional footprint in French politics.
