German Lawmaker: French elections is 'a troubling situation' | DW News 

Yeah but one side (the left) wants a change for the better and far right are just reactionary freaks.

Not possible

Non at all. In Europe, the S.. will have hit the fan in nex decade unforunately.

They're so convinced of their position even as their opponents numbers grow.

People love free education and healthcare matter of fact. Conservatives love it too. People vote because of other issues like immigrants which is a reason for conflict I understand but it seems to be overblown.

the far let is Lutte ouvvrière in France and they did not win a seat. And despite your fantasy people had more then enough of nationalists, we don't have fish memory like you, we know how WWII started. At least don't speak about France, you don't know a dam thing about what is going on here, otherwise you would have known that you beloved RN had no chance at all to get a majority.

@@trartalacrem thanks comrade.

The term "far left" is not used? Have you googled it once? of course its used. Far right wants to destroy democracy and marginalize minorities, far left is trying to prevent thar the far rights do that. Thats a big difference imo.

​@@trartalacremsure, RN is not in the majority, but 35% isn't "far right." 5 or 10 percent might be far right, but not 35 percent.

it also seems like no one ever talks to people of the opposite viewpoint; they only talk to people who share the same opinions. what are they afraid of?

@@zw9802 A cosy culture where they can comfort each other while ignoring what will ineviably come in next ten years or before.

@@abdell75roussos most people are so clueless about history, and invested in their "herd," that they won't realize that their countries are permanently destroyed until it's too late.

It will be a disaster and their rhetoric and gaslighting of any conservative leaning citizens of france will lead to boosts for the RN in the coming years

it's not biased because it's on the television

What do you mean by catering to non-citizens? Not wanting them to be treated like second class citizens?

@@soundscape26you mean treated like non citizens

@@soundscape26 Non-citizens are not 2nd tier citizens. They're not citizens at all. We all must respect them as fellow humans regardless of their citizenship. But Leftists put them above citizens and cater to them over and before the citizens. It's a genuine concern that the Left has been ignoring for decades and it's going to cause a severe pushback if course correction doesn't happen.

@@mcddewitt Or that. Same.

@@soundscape26anyone that blivs in t Pdfile Profit

It was collusion between Parties to shut out voters. Not great. Voters wanted RN in many cases but RN lost those districts only because of the collusion

Communist wins not a democracy

my dog has no nose

Because what Russia wants is a good indication of what's terrible for France. Russia views it as a zero sum game. Remember they pushed division during the Brexit campaign and look how that turned out for the UK

the lesson was that France was a surrender monkey then, and if DW has its way, it will always be one. I'm reminded of a joke: Q. why do the French plant trees along the Champs Elysee? A. because the Germans like to march in the shade. except that in order to modernize the joke, the answer could be changed to: because the jihadis like to pray in the shade.

True, France has easily surrendered to the Islamists.

you mean the US will interfere and save Europe's chestnuts when Putin invades? not likely, this time. the US has lost its mojo, and besides, European countries don't have any sense of national sovereignty anymore anyway.

yep; there won't be any "Europe" much longer if immigration isn't drastically reduced. i lived in Holland in the late 70s, and I don't think i would even recognize the place now.

The current left in government is precisely also doing the same. Benefiting the escalation of global war conflicts, cebilar giving to real support to Ukraine, and still use them as a humanitarian plea, they have just helped the weapon manufactures get way richer, and failing miserably to achieve any peace ☮️ Why? Because they really don’t represent left ideals in any way, it’s the same scheme as the left in the US, using distorted narratives to appeal the the humanitarianism of the people only to use it against them. So low have they fallen, and it’s sincerely frustrating to see that no side in German politics has a complete good deal for the people, they all have a small amount of good deals with the price of several other narratives that serve nobody but rich people and their own pockets. And this applies for right and left.

lol. yeah, Europe is firmly in the jihadis' sights ...

There is left and far right. Never Heard about just right

​@@piotrsobczak2866The Republicans, the party that came 4th. They're the right.

The alternative is the same nationalist attitude that fueled WWI. Europe doesn’t need mass casualties, but that’s where nationalism leads.

​@@ShaneyElderberrythey somehow managed not to have WW3 for many decades after ww2, without completely sacrificing their national identity and sovereignty. they can do it again.

@@zw9802 at least one nationalist state will want to expand, eventually. You can’t keep them satisfied, if they all believe they are more important than the other countries. Unfortunately, the only thing policing the peace is the looming threat of American military bases all over the globe. We all know far right, nationalist politics isn’t a system that attracts European immigrants. I’ve not read anything about masses of West Europeans flocking to Orbán’s Hungary.

@@ShaneyElderberry why didn't any of this stuff happen in the decades after WW2?
