"As I was saying we need to prevent the "National Rally" (Rassemblement National) from achieving an absolute majority at the National Assembly because it would be, and I say it from the bottom of my gut, it would be terrible for the country and the French, it would be catastrophic to jobs, to purchasing power, catastrophic for our economy and our values. What does this mean? That one must vote for our candidate where they are present during the second round and they are in over one hundred constituencies, this also means that if in some constituencies, if our candidate is in third place and that would make the RN (Rassemblement National) win, our candidate will step away."

9. SOUNDBITE (French) Gabriel Attal, French Prime Minister:
"We believe firmly that France will be stronger within a strong Europe and that in many domains, from energetic independence, our industries and jobs, we need Europe. This distinguishes us from the National Rally (Rassemblement National) that has a total different vision, this is also what we are fighting for in this election, to give our candidates all the strength to support Europe including in the National Assembly."

STORYLINE:
French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal on Tuesday called on voters to prevent the far right from securing an absolute majority in parliament ahead of the second round of voting on Sunday in a tense election with unusually high turnout.
"We need to prevent the National Rally achieving an absolute majority at the National Assembly because it would be, and I say this from the bottom of my gut, terrible for the country", Attal told reporters following a campaign visit to a market in Paris.
French President Emmanuel Macron, who named the 35-year-old Attal as France’s youngest prime minister in January, dissolved parliament and called the surprise elections after the National Rally’s strong showing in European elections in June.
The far-right party came out ahead in Sunday’s first round with about a third of the vote, and a left-wing alliance came in second.
Macron’s alliance came in third, forcing his party and others into strategic decisions.
Among them, Attal said, is that candidates in the president’s centrist alliance who came in third will step down before the runoff on July 7.
If the National Rally wins a parliamentary majority, Macron would be expected to name 28-year-old National Rally President Jordan Bardella as prime minister in an awkward power-sharing system known as “cohabitation.”
Attal also highlighted his belief that France will be stronger within a strong Europe, a point on which he says he differs in opinion to the National Rally.
"This is also what we are fighting for in this election, to give our candidates all the strength to support Europe."
