This book explains why the far right is on the rise in France and how Emmanuel Macron's rule is leading to a possible Le Pen victory. Recently, polls have indicated for the first time that a far right candidate could win the next French presidential election in 2027.
Reactionary and racist ideologues are increasingly present in the French media. Fascist violent groups are gaining ground and confidence in the streets, and assaulting more people. How did we get here? <br>Ugo Palheta shows that the fascist threat is rooted in the triple radicalization - neoliberal, authoritarian and racist - of the French ruling class, and its incapacity to win the consent of a large majority of the people.
As a result, and as a factor of an interminable political crisis, this radicalisation has fostered the rise of a new type of fascist threat. The author therefore argues for a renaissance of anti-fascism, capable of leading the fight against the far right, and against the triple offensive that is encouraging its rise.
