Propaganda? I’ve just red that Far right wing groups are making deep inroads, particularly in France.
Yeah, at the national level.
Cautionary note: far right has different definitions, and often in these countries the ‘far right’ are not to the right on all issues, just on populist ones.
That said, Marine Le Pen’s NF have made historic gains in the regional elections. They used to be relegated to gritty Mediterranean towns, but they just outright won the mayorship of a town in the north, showing their growth as a party. In the run-offs coming up, they are expected to win several more mayorships.
The best we can hope for in France is that Le Pen may be able to reverse homo marriage (which she opposes)and prevent Belgian style child euthanasia laws, as well as the larger goal of destabilizing the EUSSR.
Both extremes grow when there is turmoil.
