Polls open in France for the second and final round of parliamentary election

Polls have opened in France in a crucial election that could change the country's political landscape. Voters are casting their ballot in the second and final round of snap parliamentary elections. The far-right National Rally is hoping for a historic victory after making huge gains in the first round last month. Left-wing and centrist groups hope to prevent it from winning an absolute majority.
