The government has been asked to provide concrete responses within weeks. Meanwhile, protests continue with significant turnout, though estimates vary, and concerns over police brutality and school infrastructure persist.

National Rally Secures First Senate Caucus, Quadrupling Presence Ahead of 2027 Election

France’s far-right National Rally (RN) and its allies won a record 14 seats in the Senate on September 27, 2026, effectively quadrupling their presence in the upper house. This result allows RN to form its first-ever parliamentary group, a milestone achieved just months before the 2027 presidential election. Marine Le Pen hailed the outcome as a 'historic victory,' noting that the results exceeded expectations. The RN won nine new seats, joined by two from ally Eric Ciotti’s Union of the Right for the Republic (UDR) and three retained from 2023. This shift challenges the traditional right-wing dominance of the Senate, where the Republicans (LR) remain influential but face growing competition. The development signals RN’s rising institutional power as it prepares for a presidential bid against outgoing centrist President Emmanuel Macron.

Le Pen presses ahead with 2027 bid, hinting at campaign under ankle monitor

France's Marine Le Pen vows to run in the 2027 presidential election despite an embezzlement conviction, after an appeals court kept the conviction but shortened her ban and signaled possible campaign under electronic monitoring; the move reshapes the far-right race as Bardella looms as RN’s rising star, while legal uncertainties linger about how she can campaign from a criminal sentence and the Court of Cassation may weigh in.

Le Pen gears up for 2027 bid as she appeals conviction and tag ruling

Marine Le Pen says she will run in the 2027 French presidential election and will appeal her embezzlement conviction to the Court of Cassation, arguing she cannot campaign while wearing an electronic tag; a Paris appeals court found misused EU funds but allowed her to stand with a tag, and the case moves to the top court while she maintains her innocence and partners with party chief Jordan Bardella.
