BBC NEWS/It’s not even two months since Emmanuel Macron was convincingly re-elected as president but he is already in a crunch election that could prevent him pushing through his reforms.
Mr Macron beat the far right in April, but this time the challenge is harder.
Far-left Jean-Luc Mélenchon leads a left-green alliance that finished neck and neck with Macron only a week ago.
They call themselves Nupes and the polls suggest they could stop the president winning the 289 seats he needs for an outright majority.
