It’s the day of elections in France. In a rapidly changing political landscape, the country has reached a crucial turning point. Emmanuel Macron’s collapse at the European elections has pushed the occupant of the Elysée to take a gamble: dissolving the chambers, calling the French to vote in the hope that the classic cordon sanitaire against the right in power will be repeated. But this time the Popular Front is not so compact, Mélenchon’s left is as scary as (perhaps more) than Jordan Bardella And Le Pen this time he can dream of bringing his Rassemblement National to power. Looking forward to aiming for the presidency in the next round.
French elections, Le Pen dreams
The political situation in France is extremely polarized, with Jordan Bardella’s Rassemblement National (RN) appearing to gain more and more support, alarming part of public opinion and the media. The latter, in fact, have expressed concerns about a possible victory of the RN, seeing and considering that a victory of the child prodigy of Marine Le Pen would lead to “political cohabitation” between the prime minister and the president of two different factions. Faced with this panorama, Bardella himself commented with irony on the apprehensions shown, highlighting an open and direct confrontation with those he perceives as the dominant institutions and little inclined to change. The “cohabitation” could trigger significant reactions, especially from the left, which has already announced large demonstrations in the event of the RN’s success.
The left raises the barricades
The left, united under the Nouveau Front Populairepositions itself as the main antagonist of the right, trying to gather discontent and organize a form of resistance that could take the form of demonstrations and protest actions, as already seen in the past during periods of strong political tension.
