Seven months before the presidential election in France, the political landscape remains tense as the National Rally (RN), a far-right political party, continues to lead in opinion polls. In response to this growing influence, Léa Balage El Mariky, an ecologist deputy, has raised concerns about the potential risks to France’s democratic institutions if the RN were to win the presidency. She bases her warnings on a report prepared by legal experts commissioned by ecologist lawmakers, who argue that France’s political structures are more vulnerable than those of any other European country. According to the report, the current constitutional and legal framework in France is not adequately equipped to prevent a shift toward illiberalism—a system that undermines democratic principles such as the rule of law, freedom of speech, and political pluralism. Léa Balage El Mariky warns that if the far right were to gain power, France could quickly move toward a more authoritarian style of governance, eroding the checks and balances that safeguard democracy. To counter this risk, she is calling for a "political awakening" within the National Assembly, urging lawmakers to take action. Her proposal includes reforms to the French Constitution aimed at strengthening democratic institutions and making them more resilient to potential threats. She argues that these changes are essential to ensure the stability of France’s democracy before the next presidential election. Léa Balage El Mariky’s concerns reflect a broader unease among some French lawmakers about the trajectory of the country’s political system. While the National Rally has not yet won power, its rising influence has sparked debates about how to protect democratic norms and prevent the erosion of civil liberties. Her call for constitutional reform is part of an ongoing effort to reinforce the foundations of French democracy in the face of growing political uncertainty.
