⚠️ BREAKING: Far-left parties, together with Islamists, are burning and destroying everything on the streets in France 🇫🇷.

Here’s what to know:
Final results: The leftist coalition has taken the most seats in parliament, with 182. Emmanuel Macron’s centrists have 168 seats. Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally have 143 seats.
Prime minister offers to resign: Gabriel Attal plans to present his resignation on Monday but said if needed he could stay on through the Paris Olympics or longer.
What happens next?: With Macron saying he’ll “wait” to make decisions on a new government, France now faces the prospect of weeks of political machinations to determine who will be prime minister and lead the National Assembly.
