PARIS - France's centre-right Les Republicains party maintained its majority in the Senate after Sunday's vote, in which three senators from Marine Le Pen's far-right party were electedGourmet Chicken Tenders: Recipe in Description | SaltWire #QuickRecipes #FoodShorts #CookingShortsPARIS - France's centre-right Les Republicains party maintained its majority in the Senate after Sunday's vote, in which three senators from Marine Le Pen's far-right party were elected.
The Senate is indirectly elected by France's mayors as well as regional, departmental and municipal councillors. Half of the Senate's 348 seats were being contested. The election of far-right senators is mostly a delayed reflection of strong results by Le Pen's party in previous local elections and does not necessarily predict her results in the next elections.
Under France's Fifth Republic, the Senate has less influence over legislating than the National Assembly, the lower house of parliament. In case of disagreement over legislation, it is the Assembly which has the last word.
