France's far right makes gains in Senate elections
Original: France's far right gains ground in indirect Senate elections
France's far right has gained ground in the country's indirect Senate elections, where senators are chosen by an electoral college of local officials rather than by direct public vote. The results point to the continued rise of the far right in French politics, adding to pressure on President Emmanuel Macron's camp ahead of future national contests.
Why now: New results show the far right expanding its foothold in a key French institution, feeding debate over the direction of French politics.
