Polls open in France: Voters cast ballots in snap parliamentary elections

Polls have just opened in France, as the country votes in the first snap parliamentary elections in nearly 30 years.
The stakes are high, with the far-right hoping to make significant gains.
Two rounds of voting will choose 577 MPs, who will make up the new parliament.
Most voters will head back to ballot boxes for a second round in a week.
Al Jazeera’s Step Vaessen is monitoring the latest developments at a polling station in the southern city of Nice.
Bruno Cautres, a researcher at Sciences Po university, says it is “extremely likely” that the party that wins that first round of the election will win the second round.

Le pen

*France🇫🇷 still occupied Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Réunion, Mayotte, Saint Martin, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Pierre & Miquelon, New Caledonia, Wallis & Futuna, Polynesia, Clipperton.* France must end occupation & peace!

Mayotte is the #1 supporter of le pen. Time the settlers went home - we do not want the crime, social disorder and problems they cause.

[@martinfiedler4317]

That's no "occupation". These territories are parts of France and their inhabitants are French citizens.

[@drtg101we7]

Saint Pierre and Miquelon shouldn't be on the list since it was uninhabited before the French came.

[@hadelidell4285]

No 😊

God and Buddha Buddha is sheep 🐑 and God is king Buddha as wise as snake and Buddha as innocent as dove so Buddha is greatest in kingdom of God because Buddha did not believe wolves in sheep clothing peddle lies and practice false hoods so Buddha hears voice of God and Buddha recognises voice of God said man cannot survive on bread alone but every word from mouth of living God so Buddha has third eyes open but they are third eyes blind so they have eyes cannot see God because they lack pure hearts the last sermon on Mount so Buddha has pure heart
