France Lurches Right

Informações:

Synopsis

France's President Macron's decision to hold elections this year resulted in a major shift: Marine Le Pen’s National Rally won over 33%, the leftist New Popular Front got 28%, and Macron's party came in third with 22%. With speculation that the RN might win a majority in the July 7th runoff, French politics is now highly unpredictable. Fear of the populist far-right defines French politics. Alice Barbe, a leftist political and social activist, shares her concerns and expectations for the second round and beyond.
