News Brief: President Emmanuel Macron cautioned that far-right and hard-left parties pose a threat to France, as the nation approaches crucial municipal elections. His remarks follow significant gains by these parties in the first round of voting.

In a statement on March 18, President Emmanuel Macron emphasized the risks associated with politically extreme parties, noting that they ‘remain a danger to the republic.’ His comments came ahead of the second round of municipal elections, which are seen as indicative of the political climate leading up to next year’s presidential election. The far-right Rassemblement National (RN) and the radical left La France Insoumise (LFI) have made notable gains, reflecting widespread voter disillusionment with traditional parties. An LFI-Communist alliance achieved victory in the working-class suburb of Saint-Denis, while RN candidates are leading in southern cities, including Toulon. RN leader Jordan Bardella has called for unity among centrist and right-wing factions to counter the left’s momentum.
