French voters to decide the fate of the country today
Stockholm, July 7 (Hibya) - Voters in France go to the polls today for the second round of elections after the first round of voting last Sunday, in which the far right won a landslide victory.
The far right is hoping for a historic victory. The anti-immigrant Rally National (RN) of Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella has a realistic chance of running the government for the first time and taking full control of the National Assembly.
But after the RN's first-round victory in last Sunday's snap general election, hundreds of rival candidates withdrew their candidacies to give others a chance to defeat the far right.
Voting in France begins at 08:00, and the first exit polls are expected 12 hours later.
Violence is feared in Paris and other French cities regardless of the vote's outcome, and a planned protest in front of the National Assembly on Sunday evening has been banned.
