French parties unite to keep far-right from power, but is it too little, too late? | DW News
Over 200 opponents of France’s National Rally (RN) party on Tuesday withdrew as candidates from next Sunday’s second round of voting as they seek a so-called “republican front“ against the far-right.
President Emmanuel Macron’s centrists and the broad New Popular Front left-wing grouping hope to stop the far-right from taking power in the lower house of parliament after it won roughly 33 percent of the vote at the first round last Sunday.
The tactical withdrawals are intended to avoid splitting the vote against Le Pen’s party. It’s a tactic that has been employed repeatedly against the far-right in France in the past, most frequently with left-wing voters turning out to back right-wing and centrist candidates in order to block rivals from the National Rally and its predecessor the National Front.
