No one can celebrate after French elections says Meloni

Simplistic to say RN lost says premier

Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 9 - Premier Giorgia Meloni has said no one can celebrate after last weekend's second round of voting in French parliamentary elections.
    Marine Le Pen's right-wing National Rally (RN) was beaten back to third place with the help of tactical voting after coming first in the first round, with the left-wing New Popular Front getting the most seats and President Emmanuel Macron's centrist Together alliance coming second.
    "I think the reading I have seen from some quarters that RN lost is a bit simplistic because, if we want to look at what happened in France, the truth is that no one can celebrate victory," Meloni said in Washington overnight after arriving in the US capital for the NATO summit.
    "There were three groups: none of the three has established itself (as the winner), none of the three is able to govern alone.
    "We will see what will happen. The result of the second round is that no one won the election". (ANSA).
