  4. The Right, not the far right, get it right or shove off as a news source. They are mainstream. So stop it. Where’s the far left in your commentary.
    Tribalism France 24 is that what you are tribal and not objective.

  5. All because immigration issue only….now all nations dont welcome others…border issue …tourist issue …new member into a society no one likes….inflation jobs housing all went fir demand…in future each street and piece of land all will fight….surely it will happen

  6. The "far right," after losing election after election, listened to the French people and moved in their direction. As the left continues to ignore voters, while telling them they are stupid and must submit to the opinion of their superiors! Voters have finally gotten fed up!!!

  9. Part of the far left strategy is to always present conservatives as "far-right radicals" when conservatives are just normal rational leaders with rational policies.
