The left-wing coalition, Nouveau Front Populaire (NFP), has secured a projected victory in the French parliamentary elections. Celebrations erupted in Paris, with activists gathering at the Monument à la République, unfurling banners that read 'France is a fabric of migrations' and lighting flares. However, the celebrations turned violent as far-left activists vandalized the monument with graffiti and clashed with police. Riots broke out in the city center as the far-left supporters, including communist, socialist, and green blocs, celebrated their win, leading to confrontations with law enforcement.
