Paris, France - 01 July 2024

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Cécile Alduy, Stanford University Professor and far-right researcher:
"The National Front was ostracized from the political spectrum because of antisemitism and racism. And since she's been at the helm of the party, she has tried to smooth out the rhetoric, embrace a kind of democratic, rhetoric, secularism, women's rights even. And so she has managed to change the image of the party. And since 2012, it's been a constant rise, in the ballot box and in the polls. With this in mind, we also have to add that, the political landscape has changed. And as she smoothed out, she has embraced a more mainstream, efforts. Other parties on the right have started to copy her vocabulary or arguments or themes."

5. National Rally party leader Jordan Bardella arriving
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Cécile Alduy, Stanford University Professor and far-right researcher:
"So they have, presented themselves as a ticket in, in the American sense of, you know, a president and the prime minister. So Marine Le Pen, is vying for the presidency, while Jordan Bardella wants to become prime minister. They are completely in line politically. There's not a single issue in which they diverge. And to be honest, in Jordan, Bardella is the creation of Marine Le Pen. He has been made by her and is extremely loyal. So there is very little dissension in that party. It's a party with tremendous amount of discipline and respect for hierarchies. Therefore, you know, Marine Le Pen is is the top Jordan Bardella just under, and they go hand in hand with the strategy of presenting a ticket to the French voters."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Cécile Alduy, Stanford University Professor and far-right researcher:
"He's extremely young and attracts young voters. He has 1.6 million followers on TikTok, I think. He's almost a rock star among his fans, apart from this attractiveness of the persona of this young man. He comes from the suburbs of Paris. And so he's been forging this storytelling about, you know, being raised in the suburbs and seeing the suburbs being submerged by an immigrant population. So here's a live example of what the National Rally wants to fight against, which is immigration. And also it, you know, his name is Bardella. He comes from an Italian family, sort of family of immigrants, but the right kind of immigrants for the National Rally."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Cécile Alduy, Stanford University Professor and far-right researcher:
"His lack of experience and even competence should be a deterrent for voters. There seems to be such a huge detestation of Emmanuel Macron and his politics right now that voters think there is a chance to change that, to really shake the system and people who are disaffected by current politics as they were done think, 'well we've not tried this'. And maybe actually this virginity, this lack of experience, is almost an asset in a paradoxical way."

STORYLINE:
France's far-right National Rally and its opponents scrambled on Monday to capitalize on an indecisive first round of voting a day earlier ahead of the final vote on 7 July.
She inherited the party, then called the National Front, from her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, who has multiple convictions for racist and antisemitic hate speech.

Le pen congratulations ❤ I'm proud to see citizens finally getting what they want.
Notice anyone other than leftists are called “ far right wing or right wing radicals” by the press 😂
The left here in the USA are a bunch of hypocrites and gaslighters.
AP is far-left!
Exactly!
*Far-right? No, just not far-left. Good for France, critical thinking, and common sense.*
You literally don’t know what you are talking about and just said this because you are overly sensitive about politics in your country……the arrogance of American conservatives is just amazing.
@@dizzleslaunsen2372 *You must be having a stròke or some other sort of mėntal heàlth emėrgency.*
@@superbrownbrown what did I say that was incorrect? Nothing……you are just a snowflake that can’t actually respond to what I said so you try and deflect with an insult.
Le Pen is centrist, not far right.
She’s friends with Putin so she isn’t anywhere centrist. Le Pen cleaned up her hardcore nationalist BUT it’s just a cover.
Since she doesn't want to destroy her own culture she's radical lol
Says far left AP
All self respecting French must support LePen.
Le Pen represents hope. Everyone is tired of the lies by the left.
France can either start standing for it's western culture Christian values or step aside for Islam and Surah 9:29
I hope the right wins
I never knew there was a far right just far left farther right must be the right direction then
Far right of whom? Satan?
To hell with the left! And vote Trump TRUMP TRUMP 2024 🇺🇸 ,🇫🇷
They never refer to the other side as "far left"
Far right😂
Sa va être chaud !!
Be interesting what will happen On sunday!😯
You don’t vote for your looks
Biden congradulated Napoleon Bonaparte, Charles Martel, Charlemagne, King Louis XIV, King Louis XV, Versungeterix, Charles de Gaul, the Gauls, the Franks, the Burgundians, Mary Queen 👑 of Franks and Scots, Joan of Arc, Pierre Trudeau, VP Le Pen-ce, the Normans, the Bretons and William the Conqueror. Sorry if I forgot anyone.
Long Live France!
If you guys want to call it Far Right? And attach stupid buzz words to that type of political system like “Racism” and “Antisemitism” is getting old. What a great time for France politics, bring in the right. Twist the narrative however you like, there is nothing wrong with using common sense and having a sense of nationalism for your country!
Long live the Gaul.
Jesus is the best candidate. ❤ *I [vote] for God's Kingdom.* Each will be given a choice to keep placing your trust in human world leaders or elect a true King who has already shown us how much he loves you and what he will do on a global scale: feed the hungry, heal all sickness, everyone will build a home, not live in a small apartment but a real house with an acre lot. The best thing of all is no wicked men, women, or children to fear in any part of the planet. Peace at last! Who will you [vote] for?
The narrator talks about how LePen is against racism. Yet and still in the same breath she talks about this other young political hopeful that is considered "the right kind of immigrant". That is one of the most racist things anyone could say about another person.
When you say that a person is considered "the right kind of immigrant" that has a lot of history and meaning behind such a statement.
dilate harder, loser. The wrong kind of immigrant was allowed to flood the country for years. It's not race, it's culture. If France has any hope of preserving its traditions and culture, it'll close its borders and deport deport deport.
Marie LePen is a scary figure. I worry for France IF she wins.
Shes only scary to people who haven't been paying attention to the destruction of france
She looks dangerous and without feelings
macron vs macron in drag
The far-right sure looks a lot like the common sense Center

If a Nigerian said that about a white person who immigrated to their country you wouldn't say sh*. Stop acting like its racist to be appreciative that immigrants assimilate and adapt to the dominant culture.
The media are mostly left leaning and they always race and gender when trying to scare voters and viewers. They like to use deceptive language..
@@musicbcwalkIt's only people on the left who can't let go of race or gender. Normal people don't care what your skin color is, what reproductive organs you have, or which gender you're attracted to
