Opinion | While the current EP majority may be able to effectively exercise a cordon sanitaire over both the far right and the far left, an overall shift to the right is already a reality, Gilles Ivaldi @cevipof and Emilia Zankina write. https://t.co/kwpIGIsPGh

A Tipping Point for Far-Right Populism in #France
Author: Gilles Ivaldi (@GillesIvaldi)
Amid economic #hardship, rising #costs, and a tense political climate, France’s 2024 European election became a major #battleground. Marine Le Pen’s Rassemblement National (#RN) secured a decisive lead with 31.4% of the vote, while President #Macron’s Renaissance list lagged at 14.6%. Jean-Luc #Mélenchon’s left-wing La France Insoumise (#LFI) captured 9.9%, reflecting internal party divides heightened by recent global #conflicts. National #concerns took center stage, with widespread #discontent toward Macron fueling strong #populist support on both sides. This #election became a ‘second-order’ #referendum on Macron’s #leadership, pushing him to announce a snap legislative #election. While the RN’s dominance underscored its political strength, the reinvigorated Republican Front prevented Le Pen’s party from an outright majority, leading to a hung parliament split across three blocks.

2022 seat predictions were still way out two weeks before the election. RN was underestimated even when taking the upper bound. And it didn’t get much better closer to first round. Latest polls suggest RN could win about 270 seats (average). #FarRightElectionHangOver ahead of us?
Giorgia Meloni : « L’Italie s’inscrit dans le paradigme européen. On donne à des pays à la Turquie, à la Libye le soin de s’occuper des migrants. L’Italie, l’un des pays les plus vieillissants de l’UE, a besoin d’une immigration de main-d’œuvre », note @GillesIvaldi. #SensPublic
