PoliticsFrance’s far right gains ground in indirect Senate elections

Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally and its allies won 14 of the 348 seats in France’s Senate on Sunday, enough to form a parliamentary group in the upper house for the first time in the party’s history. Half of the Senate is elected indirectly every three years, while senators serve six-year terms.
