Left-wing candidates win mayoral elections in Paris and Marseille

In the second round of France's local elections, left-wing candidates have won the races for mayor in Paris and Marseille. Grégoire, a candidate from the Socialist Party, won in Paris, while Payan, a candidate from the left-wing coalition, won in Marseille.

These results are seen as a setback for the far-right National Rally party, which had hoped to make gains. The elections are viewed as an important political test ahead of the next presidential contest.
