French snap elections: Macron under fire over France 'civil war' warning • FRANCE 24 English
French President Emmanuel Macron came under strong criticism on Tuesday for warning a far-right or hard-left win in snap polls could spark a "civil war", with his opponents urging him not to scare the public. France is preparing to vote on Sunday in the country's most polarising ballot in decades. Macron called the parliamentary polls after the far-right National Rally scored a runaway victory in European Parliament elections earlier this month. FRANCE 24’s Clovis Casali tells us more.

You're analysis is missing much of the larger picture. Get more pieces in place, and you'll see it more clearly. There are no sovereign nations. They all work together. When they split. it's merely to lead the opposition themselves. Thesis > Antithesis > Synthesis And all of the sudden you find yourself in a place that you'd never even imagined possible.

The growth of the middle class's salary is tied to the overseas investments of major national companies. However, these companies are facing unfair and aggressive competition. Consequently, right-wing parties are advocating for a fair and equitable free trade environment. What is happening in the Pacific free trade zone?

a french governmental advisory body, known as the conseil d'état, has previously labelled the national rally 'far right', but several high-profile parties in the new popular front have been labelled only 'left wing' (though the new anticapitalist party is considered 'far left'). supporters of the national rally don't like this because they see it as unfair, despite the conseil d'état upholding their ruling that the national rally are considered 'far right' earlier this year
