You made a big blunder The NFP is a coalition of left wing parties and it's the LR's president, Eric Ciotti, a right wing party who made a deal with Marine Le Pen And BTW, coalitions are not exactly the norm in French Parliament Macron was forced to in 2022 but it's not the norm

[@samsonmalapati1]

Is|amophobia is common sense. It's not extremism. Is|am is extremism. Opposing it is humanity.

[@rijzone]

You are right. Hindu Nationalists like Modi are the biggest 'Islamists' in this country. We must oppose and vote them out.

[@AmitKumarAlphaX]

EACH AND EVERY RELIGION PROPAGATES EXTREMISM. YOU JUST OVERLOOK CASTE TERRORISM PROPAGATED BY HINDUISM, WHICH KILLS THOUSANDS OF DALITS & ADIVASIS EVERY YEAR JUST BY CASTE BASED VIOLENCE AS PER THE NCRB DATA.

[@loki2259]

There are around 2 billion Muslims in the world. Not all of them are extremists. Grow up. This is like saying all Hindus are extremists based on those Right Wing cow lynchings. In fact some of the most developed countries in the world today are Islam. Stop your immature gober thinking and pay attention to what those Muslim countries are doing right and you might actually learn something and who knows might one day accomodate all those millions of Indians who have run away to those countries in search of better jobs and quality of life.

[@PanakaluPoonakam]

I always knew this would happen. Marine Le Penn has been a life long worker of French Swayam Sevak Sangh. It is part of larger "Prapanch Parivar" of RSS. Same can be said about Geert Wilders who was also a dedicated member of Dutch Swayam Sevak Sangh. Cheers and best wishes!

Imagine if PM of India dismissed a state government ruled by opposition and called for fresh elections just because it faired poorly in national election! That is what Macron has just done.

[@rajarshighosh1857]

Such a stupid analogy. India is a parliamentary democracy. How can a PM dismiss state governments? Only Governors of that state can.

The rise of the Right not only in France but in most countries in Europe could be attributed to the fallout of the Ukraine war. The economic distress caused by the war due to disruption in supplies and indirect involvement in the war by NATO is in my view responsible for the churn all over Europe. In some ways also is that countries are getting resigned to the fact that war is inevitable and will sooner or later spread beyond Ukraine's borders

[@sargamdil]

It’s the illegal immigration that’s happening from the Middle East and not just Ukraine. Massive impact on their way of life.

Thank you, Arindam, for appreciating and supporting our journalism. I'm glad you found the episode insightful...best wishes, Shekhar

[@PUSHKARPRASAD-u8c]

Mr Shekhar Gupta Your videos are pretty well researched. But since your content contains a lot of data or dates, it gets difficult to get what you are trying to communicate. Therefore a suggestion- try and use slides whenever you have data or dates or chronology, would get a lot easier to understand.

[@ThePrintIndia]

We do try to to use graphics as much as possible, but we will certainly try to do better. Thank you for watching and writing in...best wishes, Shekhar

[@doncorleone9297]

[@aidensam6071]

The raw truth behind the rise of right-wing parties in Europe is all sorts of migration to Europe, especially from Muslim majority countries. Immigration is the main reason why these parties are winning all over the west even in America and Canada. People don’t want to lose their country, their culture, their language and their way of life. The immigrants(mostly men) that are coming in are mainly from the Middle East and Africa and they don’t have any similarities with the western culture so therefore they don’t integrate and the entire experimentation of bringing in people from countries who dislikes the western culture has failed miserably. This is why the nationalistic parties are doing so well and will continue to do well as long as the native population doesn’t feel at home.

[@shibanganju1821]

High time in India also we make the reform in voting and terms to be served by one prime minister. Precautions taken by European countries after world war 2. We should take now.

[@VinodKumar-yv5yk]

I love the way you stress on immigration coming from India who is the most anti immigration country!

[@dhiraja9982]

A big correction is to be made here. The 'Nouveau Front Populaire' is an alliance of all traditionally 'LEFT' wing parties. Not right-wing ones as mentioned here!

Shekhar New Popular Front is a left wing alliance not RW, and it is the one which is threatening Macron.

[@pratiush1000]

Error by Shekhar: One Nation One Election proposal is NOT similar to joint parliamentary and presidential elections

[@anuragsinha2013]

I never thought Marine la penn is ever going to be the President. But I also Knew, the tide of the failures to address key issues of the day by the French Establishment, is going to get so heavy that eventually that will lead to Marion Marachel La Penn. Things always seem to go really bad before it starts to get good in France. But the moment of truth seems to have come faster than expected for everyone else. The desire for change has begun in France. France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Greece, Netherlands, Sweden, Poland, Belarus, Serbia, Ukraine, Belgium and Spain will follow suit. And May be UK will get sucked in too. Ursula von der layen is going to be "gone" in two years and then end up in a think tank in New York or Washington, which is where she has more in common with, unlike the average voter in Germany, whom she despises, same can be said about Olaf Scholz and Macron.(Tony Blair model)

Macron’s action defies logic. He could have let the govt complete its term and then allowed the right a run from 2027 if they still retained popular support. Not sure how handing over power to them now helps him in 2032! Anything can happen between now and then.
