Macron & Mélenchon downplay far right

The Rassemblement National (RN) is currently in the spotlight with less than two weeks until the snap elections on June 30. As the far-right party in France, the RN has emerged as the favorite for these upcoming elections, with their lead candidate Jordan Bardella garnering 31.4% of the vote in the European elections. Their pole position is being strengthened by the controversial comments of their opponents, including La France Insoumise (LFI) and President Emmanuel Macron’s camp.

LFI has labeled Bardella as a more extreme version of Macron, while Macron’s camp has equated the risks posed by the RN to those posed by LFI. This has led to a situation where both parties are being trivialized as ‘extremes’ by their opponents. However, this misrepresentation of the RN reflects a lack of understanding of the party’s true nature.

As the election approaches, the battle between the RN, LFI, and Macron’s camp intensifies, with each party hoping to secure their position in the political landscape of France. Stay tuned for more updates on this political showdown.
