The leader of France’s far-right National Rally (RN), Jordan Bardella, appealed to voters on Tuesday to hand his party an absolute majority in upcoming parliamentary elections so that it is able to govern effectively. Bardella’s eurosceptic, anti-immigration party has its first real chance of winning national power in the June 30 and July 7 ballot. Opinion polls have consistently placed the RN first since President Emmanuel Macron’s shock decision this month to dissolve parliament.

  6. Full support for him. 🥰 French people should give him a chance. A half-left, half-right or half-centrist won't work as all get each other bogged down. 😥

  10. Fascist dictators require an absolute majority to lead and govern – it's in the manual. They can not accept other points of view or compromise. It's their way or no way. Nearly 7 million immigrants in France (10.3%) are in for a rough time. The last time an ethnic minority was demonised and hunted down was in the 1930's, a few kilometres away, that did not end well. The far right in France will not end well and France and its majority will suffer.

  13. Trump Putin Kim Elon Scholz, Yoon Suck Yeol are doing their part to help keep Macron in parliament.He is going to win new election.Le Pen and Biden need a nursing home

  14. This strikes me as a very calculated move. Firstly to deflect any future comparisons to other far-right parties who have been unsuccessful to pass any meaningful bills, out of pure incompetence or mere lacking will. Secondly, to counter Macron's risky move of calling elections and thereby encouraging people to vote tactically, especially supporters of Les Républicains whose candidate shamed himself.

    In other words, if RN wins; I wish every French citizen a very lovely period of disappointment and nothing new but the broken promises of populists
