"Who can imagine that a country would allow its own capital to be attacked and provide no response to such a situation?" France's far-left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon asked rhetorically, in what appeared to be a reference to Ukrainian drone strikes on Moscow.
Seems like in France the far right/left are both on Putin’s paycheck. What a piece of shit.
This will be very bad for Ukraine, when France has their selections next year. Hopefully until next year, something changes that prevents any of those parties to take power.
Anywhere in the west. Russia sponsored both the far left and the far right with the goal to destabilise countries and split societies.
I’m not terribly familiar with French politics. France does have other significant left wing parties, but they (presently) hold fewer seats and are less hard left.

Same for me, but some of my French friends explained it to me in the last presidential election.
One problem is they can have two rounds. If no one candidate achieves 50% of the vote, there will be a second one in which you most likely then have to decide between far left and far right. So I guess a lot of moderate would not go to vote in a second round.
No, you usually get to chose between a fuckwad and extremists.
We’ve had nothing but fuckwad presidents for decades.
For ukraine, for europe and eventually for france. Only him and his masters will win.
