The German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, said on Sunday that he is "concerned" about the possibility of the victory of the extreme right in France, in the upcoming parliamentary elections.

French President Emmanuel Macron's party is trailing, according to opinion polls, with less than two weeks to go before the first round of snap elections announced in response to the far-right's lead over his party in the polls. for the European Parliament.

"I worry about the elections in France", said Scholz during an interview for the public broadcaster "ARD".

"I hope that the parties that are not [Marine] Le Pen, let's say, are successful in the elections. However, it is up to the French people to make the decision", he said.

Polls show Macron's ruling alliance will come third in the June 30 parliamentary election — and second in the July 7 runoff — behind Le Pen's National March and the new left-wing alliance.

This means that the leader of the National March, Jordan Bardella, can become the new prime minister of France, although only 28 years old.

He has said that he will take this position only if the party and its allies win an absolute majority of seats in Parliament.

The far-right party in Germany, the Alternative for Germany (AFD), has also grown in the elections for the European Parliament, while Scholz's coalition has seen a drop in popularity./ REL
