France's National Rally (Rassemblement National, Eds.) will contest the first round in 577 constituencies but alliances would be possible afterwards, said Jordan Bardella at a press conference in Fréjus: "In the second round, we are perfectly willing to give our support to the patriot candidate who would defend as much as possible the convictions that are ours", including Reconquest! (the party of Eric Zemmour, Eds.) candidates, "if there could be any". The RN president also calls on the French "not to give full powers to Emmanuel Macron". IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
