Jean-Luc Mélenchon publicly celebrated the election of his son-in-law Gabriel Amard to the French Senate, claiming that in every department La France Insoumise scores far higher than its number of grand electors would suggest.

The Ecologist party and La France Insoumise are blaming each other after the left failed to win a third Senate seat representing French citizens abroad.

A meeting of France's Rassemblement National was reportedly attacked with a Molotov cocktail by people described as antifascists, prompting criticism that the incident drew no condemnation.
