On France 24 English after the upsurge of the extreme right at French local elections
Guest of France 24 English on 24 March 2014 for a debate on the upsurge of the extreme right at French local elections and its impact at the European level.
A record abstention rate, and historic inroads for the far-right. That’s the takeaway from France’s local elections, the first major poll since the left returned to power nearly two years ago. This setback is hardly a surprise for a Socialist president who boasts rock-bottom approval ratings.
