Following the recent parliamentary election results in France, the far-left New Popular Front (NFP) emerged victorious, securing the most seats in parliament. Despite their win, far-left activists, including Antifa supporters, have taken to the streets of Paris in violent celebrations. Rioters have vandalized the Monument à la République, covered it in graffiti, and held banners proclaiming 'France is a fabric of migration.' The riots have escalated, with clashes between police and protesters, who have been throwing glass bottles, setting off fireworks, and starting fires. Reports from Publica and Rebel News indicate that Molotov cocktails have also been used. The situation remains tense as the unrest continues into the night, following the NFP's victory over Marine Le Pen's party.
