FRANCE: Could Macron’s panicked call for Snap Elections launch conservative National Rally Party’s Marine Le Pen into power?
Some French election analysts think that Marine LePen could become the Donald Trump of France.
“SHOCK results!”, the headlines screamed, as politicians were said to be “stunned” by the surge in votes for “far-right” parties across Europe in the EU Parliamentary elections. But the only real mystery is why every-one claimed to be so surprised. Photo: Reuters
SKY News Emmanuel Macron shocked Europe by dissolving parliament and calling a snap election on the back of a difficult defeat from the LePen’s conservative National Rally party during the recent European Parliament elections – but could the move backfire?
Macron clearly hopes that, as he sees it, France will come to its senses and turn its back on what he described as “extreme right” politicians. It’s hard to imagine why the nation would vote profoundly differently in an election in three weeks’ time, but that’s Macron’s hope.
But what if they don’t? What if the National Rally (RN) do just as well, leading the way? Already the suggestion is that if the party’s European success is replicated at a domestic level, then that would compel Macron to offer the RN a place at the very top of the French cabinet – the role of prime minister.

Macron couldn’t care less because he will stay president until 2027 when his second period will be over.
There is a lot of instability in the air. Le Pen is designated as far-right but said right-wing parties made up of younger adults are fighting it out. Many do not want to vote for Marine because they say she is too extreme although their party leaders will vote for her.
And Muslims may come out massively and vote for Macron to stop Marine from winning.

I suppose she’s better than Macron. I have seen her make some very pro Islamic invasion remarks. Time will tell.
