France's Star Athletes Refuse to 'Stick to Sports' Ahead of Elections
NewsweekDEC 2023
The far-left in France will do anything to stop the rising popularity of the National Rally. Instead of defeating Breuil at the ballot box, they sent their militants to put him in the hospital. If RN is such a threat to democracy, why are its opponents the ones physically assaulting the democratic process?
All political violence should be condemned, but this news should not blind us to the dark future of France should the National Rally take power. In the wake of their EU parliamentary victory, RN supporters were seen violently attacking LGBTQ people; and if given a legislative majority, such attacks against all minorities will become commonplace.
There is a 50% chance that National Rally wins 233 parliamentary seats in the next French legislative election, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
