French Far-Right Warns of Left-Wing Unrest if Le Pen Wins Presidency
France's far-right National Rally, led by Marine Le Pen, has accused the left of threatening civil peace if Le Pen wins the upcoming presidential election. RN president Jordan Bardella criticized left-wing calls for civil disobedience, describing them as a rejection of democratic principles. Left leaders Mathilde Panot and Marine Tondelier have expressed support for civil disobedience in such a scenario. The campaign is marked by rising support for political extremes, with Le Pen leading polls and Jean-Luc Mélenchon potentially reaching a runoff.
