The vote comes amid a fragmented political landscape, with a hung National Assembly and no stable majority, making it difficult for governments to consistently pass key legislation.The country is also facing significant economic challenges, including high debt and limited fiscal flexibility for investment in key sectors such as defence and AI, leaving it in a weaker position compared with other European partners.More than 30 candidates have already expressed interest in running. On the far right, the National Rally\u2014currently leading the polls\u2014is expected to field either Marine Le Pen, if her conviction for misuse of EU funds is overturned on appeal, or Jordan Bardella.&#8221;France must play a decisive role in the economic future of our continent.
