French voters turn out in high numbers in first round of high-stakes snap parliamentary elections.
President Emmanuel Macron stunned the nation by calling snap polls after the far-right National Rally (RN) party's strong showing in European elections this month .
Polls have given the RN between 35 percent and 37 percent of the vote, compared to 27.5-29 percent for the left-wing New Popular Front alliance and 20-21 percent for Macron 's centrist camp.
The shape of the new parliament will become clear after the second round on July 7 .
Support for Macron 's centrist camp tumbled during the campaign, while left-wing parties put their bickering aside to form the New Popular Front , in a nod to an alliance founded in 1936 to combat fascism. Analysts say Le Pen's years -long efforts to clean up the image of a party co-founded by a former Waffen SS member have been paying off. A defiant Macron has stood by his decision to call the elections, while warning voters that a win by the far right or hard left could spark a "civil war." bur-as/rox.
