PARIS –
France’s far-right National Rally is fine-tuning its candidate list for a possible snap legislative election, seeking to avoid what it called “casting errors” that let several “black sheep” derail its hopes for a majority in last year’s vote.
With the government hanging by a thread, the RN is betting President Emmanuel Macron’s only path out of France’s latest budget crisis will be to dissolve its deeply divided parliament.
The RN is the largest single parliamentary party and believes it could finally win a majority that would give the far-right unprecedented power over the eurozone’s No. 2 economy.
