Nine years after pledging to moderate extremes, the president faces a growing loss of support as his base shifts toward RN.
President's promise unfulfilled
Nine years after the president of the Republic pledged to move back the extremes in political discourse, a significant portion of his original support base is now shifting toward the National Rally (RN), a far-right political party.Growing support for RN
Recent surveys indicate that a non-negligible segment of the president's former supporters is expressing interest in the RN, drawn by its more radical policies and strong stances on immigration and national identity.Political realignment
This shift reflects a broader realignment in French politics, where traditional left-right divisions are becoming less clear, and voters are increasingly turning to parties that offer more definitive positions on key issues.RN's appeal
The National Rally has been gaining momentum by appealing to voters who feel that mainstream parties have failed to address their concerns, particularly on security, economic stability, and cultural changes.
