In early June, French President Emmanuel Macron called for surprise parliamentary elections in France as a direct response to the success of right-wing candidates in the European Parliament election. Macron hoped French voters would reject the far-right, but so far that hope has backfired. Max Bergmann, director of the Europe, Russia, and Eurasia program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, joins CBS News to discuss what the first round of French elections says about the direction of the country, and the future of President Macron.

Why can’t you call it the right party and not the far right party? You called it the left party and not the far left party. Voting for common sense policies is not far right.

Mr White Woke repeats “far right” umpteen times. The “far left” is not in his dictionary. Not possible to be too far left at CBS

Why is wanting legal immigration considered anti immigration? Why is putting a country's citizens first considered far right? Shouldn't we all be far right? Go France!

far right is idiotspeak for having common sense. 5 years ago I was center left, now I'm a far right extremist for not being a brainwashed soulless automaton. Nice comments section. How does it feel to be a laughingstock ?
