PARIS, June 9 (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron rolled the dice on his political future on Sunday, calling snap legislative elections for later this month after he was trounced in the European Union vote by Marine Le Pen’s far-right party.
Macron’s shock decision set off a political earthquake in France, offering the far-right a shot at real political power after years on the sidelines and threatening to neuter his presidency three years before it ends.
Maybe someone here understands better than me how French government works - but it looks like Macron could be ousted in a month ?
Well is anyone surprised the right is ascendant in Europe? Everyone was warned about just inviting Middle East refugees in and how angry it made people. The euro left has no one to blame but themselves for it.
You might want to re visit history and get back to me on the rise of the right in Europe.
Guess what, it was based on hatred of immigrants and overt patriotism which incidentally while claiming to be so, turned citizens against each other.
I wish you would place blame where it belongs like Putin causing a refugee crisis.
Hope your right on a positive note its a leftist English disease it doesn’t seem to effect non English countries. This vote was purely brought on by Ausländer Raus.
How are they extreme what party are you guys afraid of Meloni’s Italian government has ran like a traditional European center right party what is far right about them. 10 years ago the media would have labeled them center right.
Not on the LGTQ train = far right. Don’t want your country flooded by millions of illegals from alien cultures - far right. Not a fan of abortion = far right. These are all historical center right positions your fighting and imaginary enemy.
“Extreme or Far right wing” is a label being cast by a corrupt, weaponized left wing media…attempting to sheoplize Extreme, Far left wingers like yourself and your posts prove…it’s working.
