According to final results, the Nouveau Front Populaire left-wing alliance won 182 seats in France's Assemblée Nationale, ahead of Macron's coalition (168) and the far-right Rassemblement National (143).
Disappointing from Politico, I thought they had a good read on politics but it seems they’re incompetent enough to not be able to understand the french political landscape: the far left is mostly composed of NPA and LO who are trying to gain power through revolution, not the classic socdem parties playing by the elections rules
Edit : wow thanks for the context, friends, didn’t know they had changed owners
Politico was bought years ago by German Axel Springer SE. They don’t have a clue about french politics, just like they don’t have a clue about anything else. All they got is a right-wing desinformation agenda.

Politico is owned by Axel Springer, who publishes the BILD yellow paper in Germany.
I would not expect anything from them TBH.

politico is owned by Axel Springer and should therefore not be taken seriously.
