"Emmanuel Macron, the French president, has announced that he is dissolving the national assembly, and calling for legislative elections on June 30 and July 7.

The French president said that he can’t pretend nothing has happened, that the outcome of the EU election is not good for his government and that the rise of nationalists is a danger for France and Europe."

    The reason the “far right” is gaining momentum around the world because of immigration issues. It has nothing to do with “racism” and “bigotry”,

    That’s… were you trying to be ironic? As mentioned elsewhere it’s xenophobia, which is almost certainly rooted in racism and bigotry.

    The entire idea that we should “help ourselves” and not help “others” is racist.

      It isn’t necessarily racist. “Ourselves” and “others” can be simply defined by citizenship.

        But it isn’t in this case. Look for example their deranged longing for “remigration”.

        France is one of the biggest offenders of imperialism in the past and continuing it today.

        France owes it to help others especially the people they’ve hurt. Countries don’t have functional governments because of France
