French Far-right Surges as Macron's Poll Gamble Back-fires | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Emmanuel Macron's centrists slumped to third place while the far-right emerged victorious in the first round of France's snap elections. With 33% votes, the far-right is better-placed to form a government once the second round is completed later this week. Can the left and centrists cobble up an alliance to keep them out? What does this mean for Macron, France and Europe? Palki Sharma tells you.

    "They are opposed to globalization; they prefer those countries be in charge of their own affairs". Is this a problem? This is considered "far-right"?
  • @Hdhfhhdh
    Nowadays anyone with common sense is labeled as far right
  • @imw2902
    VIVA VIVA Marie Le Pen!!!! I am so happy! Well done French people!
  • Never expected your kind of media to call a sensible and rational party as "FAR RIGHT". Your choice of words sounds more like BBC, Washington Post and NY Times.
  • @VESANG
    Hopefully it works for the French people to get their country back from fascist Macron
  • @randstahl4869
    French people are protecting their culture -- their sense of identity as a people with a common sense of French identity; this is one take away having given this report attentive thought.
  • @essm4179
    Liberal-left has become FAR-LEFT, so everything to their right appears FAR-RIGHT to them. Regular conservative people who just want to protect and preserve their homeland are being called Far Right and racist. This is wrong. Palki ji needs to correct this.
  • I'm from Africa, but I support the French first slogan. Immigrants should stay in their homeland
  • @Bob-xx8wh
    They are not Far Right, they are just French people that want France to be for French people, not open borders that change the character of France.
  • You are wrong. Just Like Modi is,considred Far right. The same for European counties . They are fed up with immigration and islamisation. They are strong nationalist parties. Not far right. Just right. Care for country and countrymen first. Can't blame them. Can we.
  • @ajayaiyar1907
    Palki's definition of the Far Right shows that they are the only ones interested in the betterment of their nation and the preservation of their values and culture. That makes me a Far Right too!
  • @mejust8392
    Making an enemy out of Russia isnt working too well for you Mr Macron. Aint it? 🤣🤣🤣
  • As soon as some european actually wants to be proud of his country,he's labelled as a racist or Nazi,this is really quite sickening.
  • @toddgaak422
    "Far Right". Unreal the way the MSM frames any view not hard core, left wing.
  • I am an African who sometimes wish we also ve political parties like the so-call Far Right or the EFF of SA that work to protect their citizens and way of life instead of all these interference from babylonian gov that does no good for us but themselves.
