Editorial: Le Monde

• Albane Branlant announced her withdrawal in favor of François Ruffin (Nouveau Front populaire) to block the Rassemblement national (RN).
• The proposed hunt for bi-national citizens by Le Pen-Bardella, could create unconstitutional discrimination among French citizens.
• The RN's proposal for total abandonment of birthright could overthrow the principle of integration by birth.
• Rassemblement national candidates will seek to gain a majority in the National Assembly, with Jordan Bardella at the helm.
• The new government, whichever it is, will inherit significant debt and a public deficit of 5.1% of the GDP.

Conclusion: The ignorance or negligence of political leaders could result in the selling off of centuries of republican achievements in risky electoral negotiations.
