Candidates race into France's snap legislative poll but one convicted for spousal assault withdraws
Candidates were racing to register before a Sunday evening deadline in snap parliamentary elections that are redrawing France's political landscape, with a left-wing alliance newly formed to counter the surge of the far right losing, in the final hours, a prospective lawmaker previously convicted for spousal assault. Adrien Quatennens announced the withdrawal of his candidacy that had opened cracks in the fledgling New Popular Front. The uneasy coalition of parties from the far-left to the center-left is campaigning together against the prospect that the two-round June 30 and July 7 election could produce France's first far-right government since the Nazi occupation.
