The left-wing coalition New Popular Front (NFP), that emerged second in the first round of France's parliamentary elections on Sunday, will withdraw its candidates during next week's second round in case they are in third position in the first round, said Jean-Luc Melenchon, leader of the France Unbowed (LFI).
"Our guideline is simple and clear: not a single more vote for the National Rally," Melenchon said, reacting to far right party National Rally emerging ahead, with around 34% of the votes, of the first round of the elections.
