The 2024 French protests against the far-right (French: Manifestations de 2024 contre l'extrême droite en France), also known as the anti-National Rally protests, are protests that began on 9 June 2024 in response to the National Rally (RN) party's victory in the 2024 European Parliament election and the resulting dissolution of parliament and snap elections called by French President Emmanuel Macron. Several unions and left-leaning party organizations called for demonstrations across several cities in France, as well as for creating coalitions between left-leaning and far left political parties to prevent the National Rally party from achieving victory in French parliament.^[1][2]
