Challenges and Strategies in Blocking Far-Right Victory in French Elections

In the French political landscape, left and center blocs are striving to form strategic alliances to thwart the far-right National Rally's potential victory. Disagreements within the anti-far-right coalition, especially regarding recent conflicts, have weakened the unified front.

Multiple candidates have withdrawn in a tactical move to prevent a far-right government, sparking uncertainty about the election outcome. Opposition parties are hastily making deals to impede Marine Le Pen's party from achieving a significant win.

The 'cordon sanitaire' strategy is being utilized to prevent a far-right absolute majority, emphasizing the urgency to thwart far-right governance. However, the far-right's lack of clear policy implementation details and promises raises skepticism among voters and economists.

The erosion of the cordon sanitaire signifies the normalization of the far-right in political discourse, posing significant challenges for traditional political alliances.
