“We cannot consider it over and close this file… We have to watch closely what will happen in France in the future,” Habeck said in Stuttgart.
Preliminary results, according to leading opinion polling institutions, showed on Sunday that the leftist New Popular Front coalition in France won the largest number of seats in the second round of parliamentary elections, without achieving an absolute majority in parliament.
According to opinion polls, President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist bloc is narrowly ahead of Marine Le Pen’s National Rally party in the battle for second place, with preliminary results showing it winning 150 to 180 seats in parliament.
France appears to be close to the “hung parliament” scenario as the most realistic possibility, as a result of the early parliamentary elections, which showed that no party won an absolute majority.
The term “hung parliament” occurs when no political party or party alliance achieves an absolute majority of seats in parliament.
In the French parliament, 289 seats are required to achieve an absolute majority.
