- France and the rest of Europe are waking up to the possibility of the far-right coming to power in one of the EU's founding members.
Marine LePen's National Rally has taken the largest share of the vote with 33% in the first round of snap parliamentary elections in France. President Emmanuel Macron's centrists trailed in third with 20%, behind a left-wing alliance that pulled 28% of the vote. Macron is calling on voters to prevent the far-right from winning a governing majority in next Sunday's decisive final round.

#France #Elections #FarRight
Your "expert" isn't so much an expert in my opinion. Macron didn't expect the left to unify, for one. He expected them to be divided and have insignificant scores, hoping the left would then join him once again in the fight against the RN; instead, it backfired and he finds himself with far fewer seats than he had before.
You lay down your money and you take your chances. Politics is never a done deal. I'm confident he had thought of this scenario in advance.
Congrats this is modern journalism
It’s a job and subscription to the company. Not from someone who truly concern abt what is gg on
Okay, but let's put your expert opinion to check though. Macrons party now takes the third place so their voters have to choose a party, and now their decision will be made between the lepens party, and the left alliance, do you think macrons voters will chose the left or the right? Cause I don't see them voting for lepen.
@@Anotherandoman93 There a small problem with your question. They won't choose between the left and the right- rather the left and the EXTREME right. Will they choose the racist, xenophobic party with few projects except the hope of ejecting French people from their own country? In a recent poll, 76% responded with "no".
@@c.a.savage5689 There's a chance he was hoping for a divided parlement only to use the power of the 16th amendment of the constitution, dissolving the parlement once again and giving him FULL DICTATORIAL POWER for 6 months, only to ravage the people once again.
So basically France is going to be the next Italy? 😂
More like most of Europe
But nothing has changed in Italy, it still the same as it was ruled by leftists

Europe is changing by the minute
Maybe there is a reason why “far right” politics get more and more support from the people. It’s not just France at this point. So time to try to deal with the reality and consequences in many European countries
You hear about that 15 year old girl that was attacked by 11 foreigners in the park on November 28th 2023? A German woman had the audacity to insult one of the attackers online. They put her in jail for having the audacity to say something mean to a foreigner. Only 1 of the 11 attackers received jail time, so she received a longer sentence than all but one of them.
After the unexpected surge in support for the palestinian freedom in the west the people in power who largely supported left wing ideology is now shifting right.
Its the same invisible puppeteer that controls, but now with new set of dolls and a new storyline go along with it.

Take back Europe! This not about immigrants or where you came from! It’s about defending European values and sending a clear message that anyone moving to Europe must accept European values and principles. Enough of intimidation and violence against people of Europe who all want freedom and western values.
I am from Libya and can't agree with you more !!!!!! this should be done without even discussing it! and I can tell you, most of the people from "my religion "who go to Europe don't accept European values! there should be an extensive background check before letting anyone in, let alone giving them permanent residence or citizenship 😣😣😣😣
Western values are being threatened by Russia, not by immigrants. Nobody is implementing Sharia law. The AFD in Germany is the closest to Sharia law. Western values means following the constitution.
@@Joey-ct8bm
The AfD has made statements claiming that "Islam is not compatible with the German constitution"
The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is not aligned with Sharia law, but rather opposes Islam and promotes far-right, nationalist values

IT IS ALL THE AGENDA OF THE WEF.
Politicians like to play games so they can win, it's not about the democratic wish of the people and what the people want.
Please can you define far right and centrist
Anything politically to the right of Karl Marx.

@@dextercochran4916 So all the major parties are far right?
@@MrBobsmith34 Anyone who isn't far-Left. Yes.
I love how DW has to stick with their "far right" talking point while we all laugh at them for trying to lie to our face.
Please count how many times they say the term "far right".
Far right. Far right……centre left 😂😂
Why? It seems relevant when the story is about the far right.
National rally is universally considered a far right party because of its history and a set of policy positions that align with that side of the spectrum. It's a matter of fact statement.
Putting the peoples will first is now "NEFARIOUS"!!!!! Who's FAR now????????
Why is every right of center “far right” while all the various left of center are described by their names? Does this show the implicit bias in this report?
Worked out ok in Italy.
Meloni is not far right to me. She is more like central right. She works well with Ursula and EU.
This lies entirely on the centrist and left wing parties. The former because they half-arsed the measurements needed to deal with problems that the far right puts emphasis on (immigration in primis) and the latter for actively ignoring these problems and attacking anyone who disagreed.
And yet Macron is thoroughly vilified by what he has DONE already with regard to reform. The majority of French seem to think it's still 1968.
So far I haven't seen any country succeed in solving the impact of negative demography is having on the economy, tax revenue and social systems. AFAIK, all countries resort to immigration to patch up their local economy, and deferred addressing the social impact until it will become critical.
@@Jedimaster36091that’s not something a country needs to address. If people are free, then they are also free to not have children. You cannot force them through violence to have children
@@smallpeople172 i am all for negative demography, due to the destructive effects we’ve had on the planet. But the social systems in all European countries, were designed with positive demography in mind. So unless we change the systems (unlikely, as I haven’t heard anyone talking about), immigration is the easiest and fastest way to address the issue.
@@smallpeople172 You obviously didn’t live in a country where abortion was illegal. I did, and saw the horrors it brought to women.
The only options the center and left can offer the French people is "we are not the National Rally". Dang the French people are screwed.
In a democracy the people vote to hold center so they can have a bit of rationality about their countries leadership. if droves of people are voting for LePen it is because the left has become far-left, not because the voters have become far-right.
You don't make sense
It’s ok it doesn’t need to for you. just vote far-left 😂
It doesn't make sense because it's actually incorrect. Anybody who knows anything about how politics works and more importantly how the overton window works, knows damn well that he is wrong. In his definition, I'm pretty certain he's assuming that Le Pen isn't far right. It doesn't matter though, it is absolutely the case that the French people are making their voice heard, as racist as some of it is, which is historically accurate anyway, and that Macron absolutely moved the window to the right rather than the left, because somehow or other he thought the right was less of a problem for his political standing? The far right hasn't fully won yet, there's still the next round, but it does narrow the center significantly
But reason the right is going to be largest party is not because the left are getting fewer votes (they have increased there vote) but because the centre has collasped. Macron a market liberal. He entire program is based on economic deregulation and he abolished the wealth tax. He is basically centre right
@@marcm. Yes, the Overton window has shifted.
Left becomes far-left, example.
As a so-called center-left party, make the far-left claim that “illegal immigration is a good thing” and follow it through with far-left party inaction. Gaslight the naysayers with political correctness.
Right becomes left, example.
As a so-called center-right party, make the center-right claim that “illegal immigration is a bad thing” and follow it through with left-party leniency. Stall with rhetoric or feign incompetence.
Hide the Overton shift.
If people want center-right action and vote for a center-right party that proposes action against illegal immigration, label that party as far-right and maintain your Overton illusion.
Millionaires and billionaires are thrilled by the way.
No...Macron is ELITES. The billionaires support Macron.
They funded her party as well of course they are
@@BVBGAGAA Indeed.
Is that mean average citizens will get robbed?
Why’s that? The millionaires and billionaires are the supporters of mass immigration and benefit from the millions of people entering the country. They also benefit from low birth rates. The rich is the left
You keep calling Nationalist parties “far-right” and now the term has lost all meaning.
Cause there's no one father right than them
How.. ? They are far right because there is little to no political force to the RNs right. So they are PER DEFINITION far-right.
Seriously.. rub your two last braincells against each other every now and then..
It hasn´t lost any meaning, they´re calling them what they are. The far right is now ashamed to be called what they are.
its an accurate term to describe nationalists. in germany the only nationalist parties are also the far right ones. The term therefore fits well.
@adamski2931the called them far left too
What's so wrong in delivering what the population votes for?
@@stephenmason5682 absolutely.
It ain't over til it's over. Only 65% of the population voted. 64% (of those who voted) DID NOT vote for the RN. Come back on July 8th.
Hey kids, do you want to go to the doctor take injections or a bunch of new toys?
Here here
Ask that to the 1930s germans.
when education fails miserably...
when France became a cutthroat place
does this mean the 'far right' has become the center?
A 60% participation rate and a 33% result for the RN means they got about a fifth of the french people..
So no. That's not the center.
No 1/3rd people of French @@fabianelsen3716
No, just because they gained popularity doesn´t mean they´re any less far right or "centre".
@@fabianelsen3716 It doesn't make sense to say that in the 40% that didn't vote all would not vote for the RN. Probably the result would be close to the 33% and could easily be higher than this.
The upvotes on the dodgy maths give some insight into the average DW viewer though.
No silly, the far left has become the centre
People have the memory of the jellyfish. But hey... We don't learn.
I agree, just a shame all the left leaning governments failed miserably to deal with the problems of the people and not leave them with a feeling of choice
@@thomass5440 Sorry, which left wing governments? Macron and his party are centrists, and calling the CDU in Germany left-leaning would be a pretty good joke.
Indeed, how can any county in the EU be leftwing when communism, socialism and nazism did so much harm.
@@WifyishNaziism was a right wing fascist ideology.
@@WifyishNazism is a far right wing fascist ideology. They are not, nor have ever been, left wing.
Next is Canada bye bye far left Trudeau and friends
If my fingers die of frostbite and a doctor tells me they must amputate them, should I call him an extremist? So why is it that fixing illegal immigration requires a hard-line approach, and that is considered extreme? I would say it was a sensible center-right policy.
Game plan? What game plan?
If you are the majority then by default your are centrist.
This is the problem with Macron: he plays games with people's lives and livelihoods. Our lives are not a game for a spoilt brat!
Doesn't RN wants tax cuts with already a terrible high debt economy? We are not gonna save them anymore in Northern Europe. Same goes for Italy.
@@Joey-ct8bm cutting the cost for migration and the plethora of expensive leftist hobbies should make a large amount of funds available that can be spent on the populace. This is no different in the North of Europe where the cost of living crisis is hitting equally hard.
Ok bot
@@ntro9347 That's almost nothing compared to what you can get in taxes in Monaco. That's that place near Nice and Cannes in France. Monaco is the border you need to close.
The richest man in France changed his nationality to Belgium, because they don't have wealth tax and inherentance tax.
Bernard Arnault and family is welcome in any castle in France, while Le Pen and Joseph Bardella are holding the door for them.
Just taxes of Bernard Arnault and family are more than what the complete immigration costs in France. Became the richest person in France during COVID.
You need to pay for customs and police, so the cost is the same anyway. Huge border does France have too. You thought that is free or something?
@@ntro9347 Like customs officers don't cost a fortune. Ever seen how big the French border is? You think that is free or something?
Do you know where Monaco is by the way? It's near Cannes and Nice. Death center in the south of France. Wanna bet there will be no border checks there with big hounds and searching through the million dollar tax free jewelry and gold bars? Boats that will be checked from Monaco to France.
Total madness blaming immigrants for economic problems, while the richest man in France threw away his French passport Belgium to avoid taxes.
Bernard Arnault became the richest man France during COVID. One of the reasons the far left in France is doing well too, because Bernard Arnault supports Macron.
Le Pen seduced him to support RN, but he stayed with Macron.
Bernard Arnault will be met with more tax cuts and open doors by RN. Nobody is arresting him and is driving him to the border with Belgium.
Double passports are the worst thing in the world for Le Pen, but if you denounce French citizenship you can live in Roubaix, France, you can stay. Nice very expensive penthouse in Paris too.
Getting so tired of this nonsense of us paying 50% tax, while there's a open border policy without paying taxes for guys like this on the rightwing.
This is what the real left wants to do, but the liberals and far right always win. Nothing will change in France, nothing! It will just get worse. I don't even care about climate policy. I want this to stop. I want border wall and mines around Monaco. Billionaires to be arrested and pay their taxes all the way back when they started to avoid taxes.
Honour democracy
Many have forgotten what happened to 2 round le pen vs chirac
not even remotely comparable: presidential election is completely different from NA election. And Chiracs old party, Les Republicains, have reached 6,6 per cent in the first round, another percent less than the abysmal european election result. In France (and not only there) we see the end of post-war political landscapes, with it's traditional center-left and center-right parties. Macrons "party" is already the result from the corpse of frances old party system, a post-ideological catch all party of the neoliberal consensus of the last 30 years.
When they mean Far Right it means Common sense.
Vive Marine la pen
Is it really far right....or return to French traditional values
They aren't "far right", just "right".
they are
actually it's extreme right and extreme left with absolutely nothing in the middle aside from macron and the banking industry...
The far-left thinks they are far right.
The left thinks they are far right.
The center thinks they are far right.

They think the right is not right enough.
There is no strong political formation more right than them.
They check every political marker of the far right.
They are far right.
@@blackdash225 Why exactly?
The second round next week will determine whether France shifts sharply to the hard right or faces months of political deadlock. The implications for France and Europe will be significant regardless of the outcome
0:12 So National Rally is a Far right, but the New Popular Front is a left wing? I like how “unbiased” your report is.
It ain't over til it's over. Only 65% of the population voted. 64% (of those who voted) DID NOT vote for the RN. Come back on July 8th.
It's the highest turnout in decades, what does that say about the previous election results then?
@@AbcDino843 What do you think it says? People are generally complacent and lazy. Unless they feel threatened. Big surprise. The last major turnout was when Chirac was against Le Pen. He got 87% of the vote in the second tour.
Goodbye to the far left.

Somehow far right is terrible! Please explain how
What do you mean as "far-right"? What does one need to stand behind to be considered far? Especially if the biggest share of voters agree with these values, is it not more accurate to say the left wing parties are far left? Maybe even extreme left?
Europe isn't European anymore and France is finally waking up. Wishing you best of luck. Stay strong and united 🙏🌍
Do you smell that? The swamp reeks of fear 🍷😘
Seems like France will be a deadlocked government, since strategic voting will probably result in better conversion of the vote to members of Parliament for the center than for National Rally.
If France falls to the far right, Germany is next
VIVE MARIE LE PEN, VIVE LA FRANCE
erm it's actually extreme right (national front) and extreme left (new popular front) with nothing on the middle aside from macron and the banking industry...
It is not far-right. Stop trying to demonize people who just want legal immigration and for others to keep their sexual preferences to themselves.
True man!
_Everything_ is "far" right for these propagandists! Ask them if there is anything that is near right, or just plain ol' right. They just keep pushing their narratively relentlessly. Don't forget, most of the media is just a for-profit corporation with goals and agendas like any other business, not the dispassionate fact-presenters they claim to be. They are no better or worse than any other business.
The national rally is objectively a far right party. They have a whole slew of policy positions associated with the far right end of the political spectrum. It's a matter of fact categorization.

Yes, we want our Countries back and we shall dictate what direction we want to go towards.
Im french. Our french government has refused to remove the word "Extremism" for the FAR.RIGHT. RN. when the RN asked to remove it. They are the first degree of Far right extremism and the worst one is Reconquete.

There is an alliance of left-wing parties that does include far-left members and they are very much against those aforementioned elites. Nobody calls them far-right because of that. Want to know why? Because they dont fear monger about foreigners or other minorities!
Incorrect. The elites love the far right. Less taxes, deregulation, privatisation, spending cuts in health, education and social services. Look at America. No thanks buddy
