Risky at the time of Le Pen

Get him Marine

Blimey

2024 is peak politics

if you look at it, covid and immigration has pretty much wiped out every government around the world at the first opportunity

No choice ...
 

If you respect democracy, you listen to your people. Hopefully he did ...

But also, shame to see my country, "driving" EU on this dark lane ...

I love EU,

I know little of French politics.

However it could be he's looking forward to the 2027 Presidential elections possibly.

Macron is in his last years as President now, these are parliamentary elections.
It may well be opposition to him, gets strengthened in these elections.
However possibly making the parliament less popular in a few years time

He recently appointed Gabriel Attal as Prime Minister.
He is I understand quite popular.
Also is seen as a successor to Macron as President.

So calling this election may be a means to an easier door opened for Attal in 2027.
If the parliament becomes more unpopular.

If I was French and lived in France I'd have voted for Macron, his Party and Attal in 2027 if he runs then.

Hi joeysteele,

Macron cannot be President in 2027, as he allready made 2 "mandas" (we call it), let's say "contracts".
He's not allowed to do a third one in a row.

i think macron is calling the election now, before the right get even more popular and take power. He is gambling that the left/middle can still win at this point in time

Yes I agree.

In other words : No way that we (in France) let extrem rigth take control

History, we'll drive our hearts

Yes, I knew that thank.you.:wavey:

Is it right that there is a view the new PM Gabriel Attal as I mentioned would likely run for President in 2027 however.

Thank you for your response.
I really appreciate it.

Sorry do you have an extreme right party

IV looked and don't see any?

LT's definition of right wing is someone to the right of mussolini

Can you Prove you are a human?

Sunday marked the final day of polling in the EU.


[Far-right parties have rattled
the traditional powers in
the European Union with major gains
in parliamentary seats,
dealing an especially humiliating defeat
to French President Emmanuel Macron,
who called snap legislative elections.

Some ballots in the vote for the
European Parliament are still being counted,
but the outcome shows the 27-nation
bloc’s parliamentary membership has
clearly shifted to the right.]

The Liberals are Angry with Macron.

at this time,

I have taken this post from part of LT's Post

The Snap Election has effected

And The €uro is down.

I love her little toy boy. He is such a hottie. They should definitely win.

[PARIS, June 10 (Reuters) - The far-right National Rally
was forecast on Monday to win a snap election
in France but fall short of an absolute majority
in the first opinion poll published after
President Emmanuel Macron's shock
decision to dissolve parliament.
Following a massive loss for his Renaissance
party in Sunday's European Parliament election,
Macron announced snap elections
for the lower house of parliament,
with the first round scheduled
for June 30,
less than three weeks away,
and the run-off on July 7.]]

It truly is... But for all of the wrong reasons.:joker:

Tbf, he/she seems to be giving out opinions that feel like it's from a Human Being to me.

That's definitely a reason.:laugh:

Ch4HDnews Friday
had a France report.

The Left in France has joined
a 4 group together

The Far Right has become just The Right
they have a great deal of young voters

Like the Problem they have in Germany.

the problem they have in Germany is too many immigrants

Yes now
the whole of the EU
are sharing the Migrants

Except for a few nations that prefer to pay the Fine
each time.

Map 1 - considering "left wing" splited in 4 :

They all lost in many cases.
We also see that Paris didn't felt in "what i think a trap".

https://i.ibb.co/WPDS8Nr/01.png

Map 2 - Then if you consider same votes and you group the 4 "left wing" to build "Front populaire group" :

https://i.ibb.co/YLCZ5RX/02.png

They manage to get more power... but not enough (i mean at first vote). It shows the irritation of major french people. I believe (or hope) it's more arround "purchasing power" rather than immigration.

The other "small story" that might didn't pop outside France is Eric Ciotti, head of former let's say "Standard right" (the right from sarkozy, a bit Chirac, pretending a bit of De Gaules too, etc), Stuck and reducing between Macron and Far right. 48H hours after vote he said that his party joins "Far right". He took this decision alone. All his team, members, are disavowing him. It's now at the court. As members try to push him out of party, so this partnership decision becomes not official.

They try to make 3 Big Blocks :
- Left with extreme left
- Macron
- Right with extreme right

A young today who is bored of Macron has to join a group that has some extreme ideas. Mad! In my opinion. But Macron is so hated that this could happen... Sad!

He would have been forced to have an Election
in September over his budget plan


Macron is now polling 3rd

Hard Left 2nd

Hard Right 1st


It appears that many who backed Macron
now back Le Pen Lady.

We have French neighbours who spend the summer in Spain, they are flying to Madrid this week to sort out paperwork so they can send a postal vote.....respect to them
