French far-right strengthens its voting intentions

The fact that legislative elections are held in two rounds complicates the electoral calculations, but the truth is that all the polls published this week strengthen the vote for the National Union, which continues to grow (it will have 35-36% of the votes in the first round), in contrast to the leftist alliance, the New Popular Front (27-28%) and President Macron’s centrists (21-22%), which are in decline. The rise of the far right has become the target of strong opposition in the country, and people even fear confrontation once the final results are determined, but polls do not seem to reflect this feeling of disapproval. Also at the European level, great attention is paid to French legislation. France is one of the driving forces of the EU, and Jordan Bardella is a Eurosceptic. His victory, if confirmed, could have profound consequences for European politics.
