President Emmanuel Macron's government faced a backlash Wednesday after the centrist leader called for powers to "cut off" social media in case of widespread violence like riots over the past week.
I expect the far right will take over by the next election or the one after.
The left is so out of touch that they will not win, they gave their voters to the far right…
Now days, people are not ashamed to tell you they are racist. RN and other far-right views are considered normal, and presented as such in most media. The left needs to fight on so many fronts, not only gaining back voters and militants, internal pressure, but also fight against an unfair media balance/coverage.
I am still highly skeptical that the left will make it (Ruffin or any other). Time will tell us. Even if we get a president from he left in 2027, we all know what happened last time we had a “socialist” president.
And what do you mean with the last time we had a socialist president? I mean it might have been underwhelming(?) but all the scare about it went nil. So seriously interested in why you seems to think it will be better with someone from the right (who?) or the extreme right. Or you think the (IMO stupid) two turns election will be the burrow of all the small leftwing parties?
Sorry if I come off as offensive, I’m high on Côtes de Rhône (villages) and I’m off on holidays tomorrow :-)
Oh, no. I never implied it would be better if the next president is from the right. I just meant Holland was from the socialist party, but as you said his term as president was underwhelming. If the next president is from the left, I hope he/she makes a real effort to help this country and it’s people (education, public services, ecology and tax the rich !).
By the end of Macron’s term, the fascists of RN will be ready to take over. France is in a very dangerous situation.

Okay, maybe, but just maybe François Ruffin will get an ok party running. I mean one can dream, right?

Let someone dream ;-)
