Concerns Rise Among France's Muslims as Le Pen's Far Right Party Gains Momentum
As the far-right National Rally party led by Marine Le Pen gains traction in the French parliamentary elections, tensions escalate among the country's six million Muslims who fear for their future due to proposed policies like banning the hijab and limiting dual nationals in key state positions.
Efforts to prevent the far-right from securing an absolute majority are underway, with over 200 candidates withdrawing to avoid splitting the anti-far-right vote. Experts warn that a far-right victory could impact climate policies, potentially reversing bans on combustion engine cars and new wind turbines.
The divide in recent elections reflects a deep-seated resentment in France, with the left winning in urban areas while the National Rally gains support in resentful regions. Questions loom over the implications of Marine Le Pen's proposals, such as potentially disconnecting France from the European power grid and its impact on neighboring countries like Germany.
