**TLDR:** Marine Le Pen's far-right party dominated the first round of France's legislative elections, potentially leading to a hung Parliament or even a far-right government.
1. Marine Le Pen's National Rally won 34% of the votes in the first round of legislative elections.
2. Macron and his allies only managed to secure between 21-22% of the votes.
3. The snap election was called to prevent a rise of the far right but could potentially backfire, leading to the possibility of the far right governing in France for the first time since World War II.
