Preliminary results show the highest voter turnout in EU elections in 20 years. Follow live updates:
Following the announcement that the National Rally was set to finish on top in France, its president Marine Le Pen appeared triumphant in a speech, calling for President Emmanuel Macon to dissolve parliament.
"He has no other choice to dissolve the National Assembly and choosing a voting system that is more democratic and finally representative of the real opinion of the country," Le Pen said. Far-right National Party leader Marine Le Pen delivers a speech at the campaign headquarters, Sunday, May 26.Jordan Bardella, who's the leader of the National Rally, also spoke shortly after the estimates were announced -- calling it a"popular burst against the established power that suffers a real failure today."
“It’s a lesson in humility for the president. Tonight, it's is him, and his policies, that are rejected,” Bardella said, referring to Macron. “It shows the EU must radically change its economic, social and migration policies.”
