The historic French right-wing party, The Republicans (LR), has opened up to an alliance with Marine Le Pen's party, National Rally, for the upcoming legislative elections. The LR leader, Eric Ciotti, announced his desire to form the alliance in response to Le Pen's proposal. The decision has caused division within LR, with some members opposing the alliance. Meanwhile, left-wing parties are also considering alliances to challenge Macron and Le Pen. The political landscape in France is shifting after the recent European elections.
