-Analysis-PARIS — The election this Sunday is obviously historic: It is the first time that the populist right, the far-right, of the National Rally party has come out on top in legislative elections in France. In 2022, they received 18% in the election that immediately followed the presidential election. In the European elections on June 9, it was 31.5%. On Sunday, support was even higher. The mere fact that an absolute majority in next week's second round is possible is entirely unprecedented.
