The article highlights the financial markets' reaction, with French bond yields spiking due to fears of political instability and potential economic policy shifts if RN were to gain power. It also mentions Michel Barnier, a former Brexit negotiator, who has emerged as a potential candidate for the Republicans, aiming to unite the right-wing vote. The piece underscores the uncertainty and the potential for further political and economic turbulence in France as the country heads towards these critical elections.
