Marine Le Pen, leader of France’s resurgent National Rally, has voted in the first round of surprise legislative elections called for after her far-right party trounced French President Emmanuel Macron’s centrists in European elections. Macron, a deeply unpopular president, decided to dissolve parliament in a huge gamble that could result in the French far right leading a government for the first time since World War II. Two rounds of voting will determine who will be prime minister and which party controls France’s lower house.
