Twelve days to convince: What outcome to French snap election campaign? • FRANCE 24 English

[@Shineon83]

Incredible. Likely a plurality of the French will vote for the Right--yet, France24 has two Leftist guests + two reporters 😂 …..Not a single representative from the Right…

[@paulcummins6780]

Indeed. This post has negatively influenced the attention I am going to give France 24.

[@Pearlylove]

Yes, how unjust! And this young reporter, she speaks of “the extremes on the left and the extremes on the right”- meaning everyone but tiny middle is not extreme! They are not doing a great job here! Which French media is better to listen to- advice anyone?

[@temwagatignol9270]

@@Pearlylove there is no French media, that is a 100% impartial, if you want to listen to the far right views you watch cnews, for the left it's france média monde (france 24, rfi), médiapart. The rest : tf1,france radio, france tv, (france 2,3,4,5) is considered center oriented.

[@ciaran6309]

Media all over eu is like this

[@zvikaso]

Why do you keep using the term 'far' right? That's your disconnect from the people.

[@danielwoldu1855]

Exactly

[@franciscouderq1100]

It is far right as per the French State Counsel referencing.

They discuss the far-right as if they are invaders from Mars :) Or coronavirus :) a weird discussion on public TV on what to do to block one party, which by the way may have as many as 30-35 percent of the votes, from succeeding in the elections

[@vincesiy1403]

It is politics. They want to keep the stigma of the right so that they can keep the votes between the center or left. It is all about votes. If voters makes the right a mainstream and normal party it means more competition for the left and center-left and less votes in future elections.

[@Nerwesta]

Far-right ideology should be named as such, no matter what.

[@Shineon83]

….Welcome to France24 (a “public” station which represents only 30% of the French “Left-leaning” public ). They don’t even pretend to care about Conservatives-which may now represent a plurality of French voters….

[@Nerwesta]

@@BonRain8734 Right nationalism with tendency to be downright xenophobic, right populism - which is the worst case of populism since right financial elites are backing it. In summary. The traditional right on this country is neither populist or nationalist, economically they are as liberal as Macron. So le Pen is Far-Right and shouldn't be conflated with others.

[@Nerwesta]

@@BonRain8734 I'm surprised you're asking this though, the summary I gave you applied to the extreme made fascism both in Germany and Italy. Here, it would be ridiculous to say that since fascism is obviously banned in politics, still the roots are the same.

[@Andersljungberg]

Don't forget Nigel Farage. Seems to be going well for the reform party, it may even be the case that if they have greater support than the conservative party in percentage According to an opinion poll. and 900,000 are said to have seen the Tommy Robinson arrangement at X When there was a large crowd and several speakers in London

[@franciscouderq1100]

Stunning considering the Farage of Brexit time. It seems people have no memory and the snake oil salesman can still sell back to the same village no matter how many victims surfeited after his last show. Mesmerizing stupidity of the mass.

You’re losing views and attention to the “far right” parties and channels if you keep that up….instead of putting all kinds of labels on people i suggest you take a look and address WHY you got where you got and how these “far right” parties are actually the normal politics of the 1990s 🤦‍♂️

[@MilenaBlazanovic-oq2iy]

Exactly!!!

[@kathleenmorgan4331]

All these people are stuck in the past while always accusing others of being stuck in the past.

[@VaucluseVanguard]

The Brits are not swinging to the left at all. Labour’s support has not gone up, it’s at best about the same as it was in 2019. The right had disintegrated and there is simply no alternative.

[@Ghost-airlines]

Yes the right has fractured there….but i think the right wing has actually gained when you account for all policies and the fact that labor has actually moved close to the center, no?

[@MilenaBlazanovic-oq2iy]

At the moment the only right is the far right, and I'm stating this as a former left wing voter for more than 20 years

Is National Rally far right or become mainstream?

[@Snafuski]

Far right, running in anti immigration and very Eurosceptic... They used to be full anti-Europe, but the Brexit fiasco made them tone it down. Rallye Nationale is also the name of a small fascist party in the 30s... Founded by Déat.

[@paulcummins6780]

It's not so far as the left would have us believe. If it becomes the majority, then the term far is completely inappropriate.

[@franciscouderq1100]

That is Le Pen ‘s dream, of course As far as I am concerned I still have a memory and I didn’t miss history classes therefore that far right Is NOT my cup of tea. Mentioning Bardella as PM is like promoting a self centered a hard line right careerist with a hollow mind and shallow experience . Bravo guys

[@MilenaBlazanovic-oq2iy]

Le Pen ❤ in this very moment far right is the only right and I'm stating this as a former left wing voter for more than 20 years

[@Ghost-airlines]

It is center right; perhaps Le Pen the father had some far right idea, but the RN has reformed alot, and im saying this as a man who is not really a fan of nationalism or religion or identitarianism but they are mainstream ideas for most people

[@Andersljungberg]

How many cities does a politician have time to visit in twelve days. If the Politician must also give a speech to an audience. I suspect it takes some planning as well

Agree 28 lol running a country is mind blowing 🤯 obviously he would not be able to make the decisions that Marie she would be the president he would be the puppet!! Amazing but I do agree that the rise of the far right has been taking place since brexit!! It happened in England were the British were dupped and in America…Europe is looking more far right this time England seems to be getting back on track and America you don’t even want to know 😂
