in an attempt to undo (some) of the damage inflicted by Macron's decision to hold a snap election, there is now a coordinated & widespread process of third-party stand-downs to allow opposition to the Right to be consolidated for one centrist or left candidate in re-run seats in the second round of the French elections.
This might (should) put a dent in the representation of the far right in France's Parliament, but to some extent the damage is already done!
