VOICED : French far right triumphs in local polls

The video discusses the political shift in France, highlighting the rise of the National Front in several cities, including Marseille, where they surpassed the Socialists. This shift is seen as a response to weak economic growth and high unemployment under Francois Hollande's Socialist government. Even in Paris, the Socialists face challenges, with their candidate trailing behind a conservative opponent. In response, the Socialists are seeking alliances and hoping for increased voter turnout to counter the National Front's influence.
