The leader of the far-left party France Insoumise, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, stated on Sunday that "President Emmanuel Macron must acknowledge defeat in the French parliamentary elections," after polls indicated that the New Popular Front Alliance, associated with the left, won the most seats, although it did not achieve an absolute majority. He added that "Macron should invite the New Popular Front to form a new government." Jean-Luc Mélenchon emphasized that "we must recognize the state of Palestine as one of the means available to us for pressure." Sources close to President Emmanuel Macron told AFP that the French president calls for "caution" in analyzing the results of the legislative elections.
