MSOpinion Le Pen lies in wait as Macron’s pension reforms roil France “Opinion polls underscore the pro-Le Pen dynamics underway in French politics—but need to be interpreted with care”
“Opinion polls underscore the pro-Le Pen dynamics underway in French politics—but need to be interpreted with care”As violent protests sweep crisis-hit France, the prospect of far-right leader Marine Le Pen coming to power is being taken more seriously than ever — to her evident delight.
The leader of Macron’s party in parliament, Aurore Berge, complained last month that all Le Pen’s MPs needed to do was “stay quiet and they look respectable.” Macron positioned himself as a bulwark against populism and far-right nationalism when he first ran for office in 2017, promising voters he would address the anti-elite anger that has fed support for the political extremes in France for decades.
In last year’s elections, she focused on the rising cost of living—and was rewarded with her highest ever score in the presidential election and a 10-fold increase in MPs in the National Assembly. “France is not an ungovernable country. It’s a country that has been governed against its wishes,” Le Pen said in the interview.Opinion polls underscore the pro-Le Pen dynamics underway in French politics — but need to be interpreted with care, experts say.Thirty percent of respondents had a positive view of the president, according to a poll this week from Odoxa, while 32 percent viewed Le Pen favorably.
