France’s Far Right at the Gates of Power

- The far right in France had a big win this month, crushing the party of President Emmanuel Macron in elections for the European Parliament. But the results did not affect France’s government at home - until Mr. Macron changed that.
Roger Cohen, the Paris bureau chief for The Times, discusses the huge political gamble Mr. Macron has taken, which has brought the far right closer than ever to gaining real power in France.
Guest: Roger Cohen (www.nytimes.co...) , the Paris bureau chief for The New York Times.
Background reading:
• Battered by the far right in voting for the European Parliament, Emmanuel Macron called for new elections in France (www.nytimes.co...) .
• The president has challenged voters to test the sincerity of their support for the far right. Were the French letting off steam in the European elections, or did they really mean it (www.nytimes.co...) ?

I'm amazed that normal thinking people are called "Far Right " in today's world
Normal thinking people do not think Putin is a great guy.
Exactly!!! This is because leftist radicals are the ones who giving labels to everyone and imposing their opinions on others
All opponents of the left are far right, that includes liberal, moderate, and conservative.
If you are against mass illegal migration or for law and order against crime, you are labeled as far right these days.
Who are the normal thinking people, and what are their thoughts? What policies do these normal thinking people support, and why?
it is not far right it is patriots !
Exactly 👍
Far right just means moderate to normal people.
What do you mean by moderate to normal people? If one lives in a city, in a town, on the coast, in the Bible Belt, then moderate and normal may mean very different things.
The NYT used to be an institution of professional journalism.
Now they stick to the 'far right' language and hope no one notices.
Who is in the far left then? Someone has to be. Or all left is good?
They’re preaching. What happened to objective reporting and journalism?
The NYT and the neoliberal elites who form the majority of their audience are clearly a pro-War, pro-Wall Street newspaper, reflecting both factions of the Uniparty (Democrats and Republicans). Both factions are complicit in a genocide which would clearly make then both far right factions. What crime is larger than an ethno-religious genocide?
The NYT also regard the Greens and very tame social democrats like Bernie Sanders as the ‘far left’.
It has been a long time since the NYT was considered professional. They rallied behind the Iraq War, peddling lies. And they still have not retracted the lies they pushed on what happened on October 7th.
@@b.t.3406 It's gone ~ There is NO objective reporting in journalism anymore. And there hasn't been in a loooooooong time.
NYT has become a far left new paper.
@@user-uskxnfiw729 what are you smoking? There is absolutely nothing left about the NYT. It is a paper supporting corporations, the military industrial complex, and genocide. As a bourgeois institution it is anti-labor supporting neoliberal austerity policies which attack workers and anti-free speech, as it failed to defend whistleblowers like Julian Assange.
They deserve to gain power when the people who are ruling currently do not care for its people and are acting in authoritarian ways. When the alternative doesnt seem so bad, it means your party is failing.
Exactly and people are sick of Islam taking over
Amen !
The far-right. The far-right. The far-right. Let listeners decide what’s far-right.
Amen. Marine Le Pen is a centre left National Socialist
The media TELLS us what to believe, and way too many people are falling for it.
@@lindagrible3235 critical thinking is far right
@yucafries7681 Not wanting people who hate your country and commit crimes to come in is far-right.
@@etherealdragon207 that’s just common sense
Far right, bla bla bla.
❤❤❤Far Right is Good then....
Only 11k views after a day. NYT is a damned joke
In any non-western country, national identity, even tribal identity, trumps all, and so it should in the West as well. It is fundamental for Europe, and the West as a whole, to be united in virtue of our common culture, but at the same time, we must secure our cultural identity and prevent citizenship being given to immigrants who come in their droves.
👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻
Better far right than far wrong!
Something similar happened to Renzi in Italy, and it ended badly for him: let's see if France is different
Don't delay, vote far right today!
And this might be what saves humanity from another euroamericaAsian war3 cos these people currently in power bent on rushing us into nuclear stupidity from d old politicians b4 those like Trump who can stop d madness step in. The beauty of this democracy. : gives u home headaches as u strive to give d world nuclear headaches.
Meh
Congratulations Far Right!
Far right? You mean the right so far.
If being a responsible, patriotic law abiding citizen means far right than color me FAR RIGHT!!!!!
Crazy 😧
No. Wonderful😂
Why is everything “far” right as soon as it not liberal or social? Yes they are on The right - But Can you elaborate why you call it far right?
What makes her far-right? What is far-right?
Anything and anyone that the media does not agree with ~
Differentiation between two French nationals depending on where the parents were born.
That’s far right.
@@Juan_laudathis is a very superficial and primitive explanation. The depth of problems and long term consequences of not solving them is staggering
Drinking game, every time they say 'far right'. 😢 you'll need a liver transplant... 💀
Do not take this challenge!
You'll need a brain transplant
Far right, far right. Just keeps repeating that stupid phrase.
Do you think they are not far right?
@@boringstuff1542 boring
Repeat something often enough, and people will believe it. And a LOT of people are falling for it.
@@boringstuff1542 When someone is the majority of a party, they cease to be far anything. Far is a slur.
@@TheBlackB0X What policies do you consider to be far right then?
Pride goes before a fall... Be careful, Macron.
It's not the far right, it's just right.
Exactly!
Frustration with the government and anti-immigration sentiment, is that good enough to define "far right"? Instead of talking about Marine Le Pen's policies you are talking about preventing her winning the elections. Bad joirnalism.
“Far right” 🤦♂️ when will the Times come to its senses?
Probably never, nyt has been infiltrated by leftist radicals, who came from elite universities and where they were admitted for their “activism”, who pushing their ideology and agenda.
Drinking game: Everytime a podcast from a dying establishment media outfit says "far right", bottoms up.
Hammered in 20 minutes. Interesting how they never actually define it.
Need a liver transplant!😂😂😂😂
Far Right not far Right Just Right
We just need to reclaim our national identity
Well done to the RN and Marine Le Pen today!!! It is such wonderful news!!!! I so hope that Reform UK does just as well here in the UK. Change is desperately needed. The left wing elite have had their day thank God.
Go Le Pen!
Oh dear, the Far left are getting salty. 🤣
why is the far left never mentioned
EXCELLENT point ~
Because in most respects the centre of Western politics is the extreme left- mass immigration, digital id, net zero, crushing free speech, high tax, totally controlled media, banks with overwhelming power, outrageous anti-semitism laws, trannies in our schools. The centre is Marxist.
Far right means common sense.
Better to be Far Right than Far Wrong! Bravo Marine Le Pen!
33% = “FAR right”
29% = “THE left”
😂😂😂😂😂
Le Pens parties policies are moderate to mild. Anything to the left of Stalin is far-right to these people.
People all over the world are tired of the left. It is the right time for a change.
Still nothing to do with Far-Right.
Yippie!
The Times' Paris bureau chief has given us his insightful, definitive take on the state of French politics on the eve of Sunday's parliamentary elections.
"Far Right" the Pavlovian response of radicals.
Cry baby isn’t far right is just right and common sense people
From the far left’s point of view, majority view is far right.
The NY Times should ask Macrone to resign. I mean, that's what their editorial board is in the business of doing now right?
Apart from ideals perhaps a younger leader no matter what country/party for their future is what counts at the end of the day . Imo I do not support any party .
This goes back to the three most famous french words. We give up 😂
I hope she wins big time macron is a little weasel.
Its a world wide movement.
Come on Le pen your country needs you.
How can i get cod
Far right😂
Is Jesus real? Ask Him💜
If he did, he was just another con artist. Don't forget the story where he praised an elderly widow for giving ALL her life savings to the Temple. They didn't exactly have social security in 1st Century Palestine!
RN is not a far right party. Vive le RN 🇨🇵
Whether it's the Right or Left, in this, the 21st century, much larger forces dictate how every day citizens live in France. The same is true in the US. One or two major issues won't change the overall quality of life experienced by people who work every day. And even though reproductive issues _do_ impact women's lives, the issue doesn't affect all women, b/c the birthrate in the US is way down. Millions of women actively prevent pregnancy and STIs.
I am very interested in these European far right movements. I'd live an episode on Italy as well.
It's too bad that Katrin Bennhold is not Tweeting any more and there is no easy to find her work...
Good old Macron may not really care left or right. As they say - if you can't beat'em, join'em
Coming soon to the USA!!! Trump 2024!!!
It already came to the USA in 2016... we've been stuck cleaning up the far-right's mess ever since.
@@ianquick4284 Really? All I see is the desecrated remains of a once great country, brought down by the Biden Administration. We are now a banana 🍌 republic.
@@ianquick4284 The Afghanistan withdrawal was Biden's screw-up, and he hasn't quit with the mistakes ever since. Trump 2024, or this banana republic will be the end of the USA.

18:23 The far right was a major cause of WW2, arguably larger than any other factors. Democracy is a bane to the far right, shown by their repeated pandering to dictators and continuous attempts to erode democratic institutions whenever they get the chance. This is why the decline in trust of these institutions is so dangerous and the work to maintain, rebuild trust in, strengthen and modernise democratic institutions is so important. To paraphrase the famous quote: in comparing types of government, democracy is messy and flawed but the alternatives are much worse. What will happen if we don't put in the work to reverse the widening wealth gap as well as start to fix other social problems caused by globalisation, greed is good madness, big money corrupting the political system, etc, etc? What is likely to happen is democratic institutions will continue to weaken, leaving the door open for more far right strong men and authoritarian regimes to take power behind a fake pretext of "freedom" and appeal to nostalgia of an unachievable "better" past that never really existed in the way they portray it (especially for those who weren't the privileged few who benefited the most). Once power is guaranteed, freedom becomes a very subjective term, more based on support/agreement for the far right leaders, those disagreeing will usually lose their freedoms.
Nothing good comes easy, we need to put in the work to keep and improve our modern democracies, because if we don't, the grifters, the corrupted power hungry, the nefarious, etc, will fill the gap.
Sounds like you’re afraid of democracy
The major trouble makers of the 20th century were all socialists.
La France a-t-elle déjà oublié ? 😢
Viva la France. Viva les Francaise.
*Vive la France. Vive les français
Far right = normal rational people
Macron must of just got a new batch of voting machines from Venezuela.
