France's National Rally forms Senate group for first time
Original: France's far-right National Rally gains ground in Senate and forms group for first time
France's far-right National Rally has secured enough Senate seats to form its own group in the upper house of parliament for the first time. The milestone marks a symbolic breakthrough for the party of Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella, which has long struggled to convert its electoral strength into representation in the indirectly elected chamber, where local officials dominate.
Why now: The far-right party's first-ever Senate group signals a historic institutional breakthrough amid its broader national rise.
