Editorial: El País

  • The legislative elections in France have an impact that extends across the entire European continent.
  • A potential victory for Marine Le Pen's far-right would have serious consequences for the EU.
  • Even though she doesn't advocate for leaving the euro or Frexit anymore, her Eurosceptic stance could damage the EU, especially in times of crisis in Ukraine.
  • Marine Le Pen has managed to connect with impoverished workers and people discontented with the ruling classes.
  • The president Macron's early dissolution of the National Assembly could have caused him troubles.
  • Polls suggest RN will be the most voted party.
  • The possible scenarios following the elections can be harmful to both France and Europe.

Conclusion: The editorial emphasizes the importance of unity and commitment of the Republican French to resist the advance of the far right. The economic consequences of ultra-nationalism are also considered important for voters who see in the single European market a bulwark of the national economy.
