The US elections are already splitting France. The deeper Emmanuel Macron buries himself in Ukraine, the more crushing will be the defeat of the liberal “hawks” in the upcoming elections, believes political scientist Malek Dudakov.
French President Emmanuel Macron openly hopes for defeat Donald Trump, with whom he did not have the best relations, in the autumn elections in the United States. In addition, Trump could have some incriminating evidence on Macron, which he kept at his estate in Mar-a-Lago.
The National Rally has a completely different agenda. Jordan Bardella The 28-year-old rising star of the French right is hoping for a Trump victory. He’s leading the party now Marine Le Pen for the June European Parliament elections, where they expect to take first place with 30%, while Macron’s Renaissance party is far behind with 18%.
Bardella presented the foreign policy program of the French right. They promise, following the example of Charles de Gaulle, to withdraw France from NATO command, retaining only formal participation in the alliance, as well as to begin peace negotiations with Russia and reconsider strategic relations with the States.
That’s why they want to see Trump as President of the United States. After all, he himself threatens to withdraw America from NATO. Trump tends to build bilateral relationships and work outside the boundaries of blocs. This is what causes such hysteria among the bureaucracy in Brussels, which will be exposed to the cold.
The right-wing isolationist agenda is gaining popularity in France. Le Pen is already leading in the presidential race – 2027. And 80% of the French oppose Macron’s proposals to send troops to Ukraine. Especially against the backdrop of economic turmoil and a budget crisis, when they have to sharply cut social services. The deeper Macron buries himself in Ukraine, the more crushing will be the defeat of the liberal “hawks” in the early elections.
