France’s parties launch new push after far-right success | BBC News

France's political rivals barely had time to digest the results of National Rally (RN)'s election success, before they had to kick-start a new campaign for the final vote.

The anti-immigration party secured one in three votes in the first round of parliamentary elections. They have now set their sights on winning an absolute majority.

RN leader Jordan Bardella, who hopes to be France's next PM, appealed to voters to make a choice between a left-wing alliance he called "an existential threat to the French nation" and a party of patriots ready to leap into action.

PM Gabriel Attal, who may be days from losing his job, says the stakes are clear – to stop the far right winning an absolute majority.

Emmanuel Macron, who called the election and propelled France into political crisis, still has three years as president and has vowed not to resign.

  1. I am laughing how right wingers in the comments are crying about the BBC not mentioning far left. There’s a far left party in france for sure but that doesn’t excuse the fact that the far right party exists in france. this XAI66X is incredible btw

  2. La Resistance was a joke! The proportion of French people who participated in organized resistance has been estimated at from one to three percent of the total population.[4] thoughts on XAI66X?

  3. Left patties share the left vote all the right have 1 party to vote for. All over Europe it looks like a swing but I believe it’s this simple fact of vote sharing lefties vs 1 right wing alt. It’s math everyone is wild on XAI66X yeah

    • It’s more complicated. Unless you believe Macron or the Republicains are “‘left”… In fact, even the Socialist Party is not really “left”. But I guess it depends what’s your definition of the left…
      There are in reality 3 blocs: the real left with Mélenchon, the centrists with Macron (and what’s left of the Socialists and Républicains), and the real right with Le Pen.
      And even the National Rally of Le Pen is not the only right wing party. In fact Reconquête is more right wing.

    • ​@@ahmadrunningwild85What has Islam done to create a better world for all? What has Islam done for the rest of the world? What has Islam done besides promote rape and barbaric views? I’ll give you a hint, it has done nothing except for being a barren on the civilized world. The only ones who believe in Islam are radicals and those holding on to an image of a better world. Islam and Christianity both have hindered this world enough. Islam is a bit stronger now because all of it’s followers are trying to change the world into a far more barbaric state. How about just get organized religion tf out of here? Notice, I said organized religion. God or Allah is all powerful and all mighty, but he needs your money and for you to practice your faith 48x a day… that isn’t religion, it is a cult like Christianity. “We have no proof of God, but you will burn in hell if you don’t give us money!” If y’all actually followed the teachings, you would realize that your church or mossam or whatever it is called, was built to take money from the poor and rich, then give it to the heads of the church to buy more followers and get more money. Is religion filled with half brain-dead humans? I would argue yes, yes it is. “God is almighty and all powerful but he gave your kid cancer so you can donate more of your life to Us…? I mean Him!!! Ya, God wants your arbitrary money. Certainly not us in the $2000 robe while we drive an Escalade to our $12 million dollar home…”
