Thank you for the added context. Though the "left" held on in France, I think this is a much more nuanced political story than the MSM is telling. Remember, the reason Macron called for the snap election in the first place was due, in part to the outcome of the EP elections but also because he feared the National Rally party would only grow in popularity and become completely unbeatable in October when, I believe, elections were originally scheduled to take place.
I pray the French people find the courage to stop cowering in the face of labels (e.g. "racist!" "Islamophobe!" "nationalist !") constructed by a media and elite class that is insulated (for now) from what is a growing Islamic state in France. Sharia law is heading down the pike and soon, they won't have any political options left. England is in the same precarious situation. There is nothing wrong with loving your country and its culture and its history. The reckoning, when it comes, is really going to be ugly and painful.
What is perhaps even stranger is that the rural communities tend to be more anti-immigration while it's the major cities that are filled with immigrants. Perhaps you don't notice anymore if you live there since the change was gradual for those who live there, although when I visit a major European city it's unmistakable.
There was a fear with some that all the Muslims are going to start their own party, some of which happened in the UK, and take a lot of parliamentary seats (perhaps in coalition with the left, even though they are conservative). So far this hasn't happened to any large extent, they are far more focused on fighting each other, many having brought the conflicts from the old country with them. It's going to be truly dangerous if/when they turn on the rest of society which isn't armed or even prepared for any kind of conflict. The police also don't seem prepared to deal with it.
If I were Jewish I would not want to live in a major western European city.
Nils, you said, "What is perhaps even stranger is that the rural communities tend to be more anti-immigration while it's the major cities that are filled with immigrants." I'd say that's sort of true in my American rural community, except that I wouldn't characterize us as 'anti-immigrant' as much as 'pro-rule-of-law' and 'anti-uncontrolled-immigration.'

Democracy means a few big cities with captive populations of voting multigenerational welfare recipients get to decide that your country gets conquered by a foreign horde
