Reason of protest in France

The protest erupted in France amidst the fear that France could go to the far-right and seize power. According to France-based news outlet, the far-right's political rivals are getting ready to create a "popular front" in order to keep them from taking control. Remarkably, six parties, excluding the RN, shared about 70% of the votes cast in the European elections.

According to reports, a significant protest march is scheduled to take place in Paris on Saturday, June 15, at 2:00 p.m. local time. Reportedly, Place de la République will be the starting point, and it will go to Place de la Bastille and Place de la Nation.

It should be noted that France was one of the nations that cast ballots on the final day of the European Parliamentary elections, which took place across 27 member countries between June 6 and June 9. What have been called "marathon polls" saw 51.1% of the estimated 448 million voters across 27 states choose 720 members of parliament.
