RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:


So France has given the world another election surprise - a stunning 1 show in parliamentary elections by the brand-new party of the brand-new president, Emmanuel Macron. Here's NPR's Eleanor Beardsley in Paris.


(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)


UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: (Speaking French).


ELEANOR BEARDSLEY, BYLINE 2: The news media are likening a party that barely existed a year ago to a tidal wave sweeping 3 everything in its path. Macron's party, Republic on the Move, got 32 percent of the vote, followed by the mainstream 4 conservatives with 21 percent. The Socialist 5 Party of former President Francois Hollande didn't even make 10 percent. Its number of seats will drop from nearly 300 to around 30. Christophe Barbier is a columnist 6 with the magazine L'Express.


CHRISTOPHE BARBIER: (Through interpreter) The left is being wiped out. And the right is in a huge ideological 7 crisis because Macron has taken some of their best people for his government.


BEARDSLEY: Very few candidates received the 50 percent vote needed for a first-round victory. Most districts will see a runoff between the top two finishers next Sunday. Marine 8 Le Pen, who faced off against Macron in the second round of the presidential race, had hoped that her party would go on to become his major opposition 9 in Parliament. But the National Front dropped from 21 percent in the presidential election to just 13 percent on Sunday. Le Pen blamed it on historically low turnout. Half of those eligible 10 didn't vote.


(SOUNDBITE OF CHILDREN PLAYING)


BEARDSLEY: Daniel Parcel was not among them. He voted for Macron's party, then brought his kids to play in the fountains of a Paris park on this extraordinary spring day.


DANIEL PARCEL: (Through interpreter) We want to give Macron a big majority to govern to put in place his program, which is a good mix of free-market economics that also provides people with social support.


BEARDSLEY: Conservative voter Alain Pegard says he and his wife felt reassured 11 when Macron chose his prime minister and economy minister from their party. Pegard says even though they didn't initially 12 support Macron, he's won them over.


ALAIN PEGARD: (Through interpreter) I realized at his inauguration 13 how impressive he was. He is noble, and he has a real presence. It's reassuring 14 to see someone who's not afraid.


BEARDSLEY: Across the country, entrenched 15, lifelong politicians fell to Macron's citizen candidates. One stunning upset was that of the Socialist Party leader to 33-year-old Mounir Mahjoubi, Macron's new digital affairs minister and the son of Moroccan immigrants. I followed Mahjoubi doing door-to-door campaigning just a couple weeks ago.


MOUNIR MAHJOUBI: What I was sure of when I was younger is that I wanted to spend part of my life to be useful to others. What better spot to be useful to others than being a member of Parliament?


BEARDSLEY: With this electoral rout 16, it's possible Macron will face no meaningful opposition.


(SOUNDBITE OF SPEECH)


JEAN-LUC MELENCHON: (Speaking French).


BEARDSLEY: Far-left firebrand Jean-Luc Melenchon, who also ran for president, warned about giving Macron too much power. Outside a polling station, voter Phillipe du Pique 17 says though he's impressed with his new president, he agrees.


PHILLIPE DU PIQUE: I prefer a small opposition. It's important in a free country not to leave all the power to one man. I think it's dangerous.


BEARDSLEY: With half of Macron's candidates political novices 18, the opposition is also warning of complete chaos 19 in the French Parliament. It's not something that worries Macron. Eleanor Beardsley, NPR News, Paris.
