Le Pen

Presidential favourite Emmanuel Macron said on Saturday he wanted to restore military service to France for some 600,000 young people each year as part of efforts to face a world entering an era of "turbulence" comparable to the Cold War.

The year 2017 is set to be a crucial one for Europe, with key elections ahead in the Netherlands, France and Germany. The outcome of these elections will indicate whether or not the U.K.'s Brexit decision, along with the rise of populist parties, will trigger the subsequent unraveling of the union. 
 

With the specter of populism looming over a critical election year in Europe, the European Parliament has taken an unusual step to crack down on racism and hate speech in its own house.

The rise of populist leaders around the world continues to astound many, though it is obvious by now that this will be the defining feature of early 21st century politics. Not long after U.S.

With the ‘Fillon scandal’ far from being over, this new case come forwards to bring everything upside-down in the French elections. It seems that everyone works for Marine Le Pen.

Benoit Hamon, a former Socialist government rebel, won the first round of a primary on Jan. 22, and will meet ex-prime minister Manuel Valls in a runoff to decide who will be the candidate of the beleaguered left in a presidential election in spring. 

French far-right leader Marine Le Pen urged European voters to follow the example of Americans and the British and "wake up" in 2017, at a meeting of right-wing leaders represented at the European Parliament aiming to oust established parties in elections this year. 

The leader of the National Front (FN) Marine Le Pen reckons that the EU is no longer viable and France has to leave the bloc unless it receives certain preferences from Brussels, reported BGNES.

The leader of the French far right-wing party National Front (FN) Marine Le Pen stated to the Russian newspaper Izvestiya that she will recognise the Crimea as part of Russia if elected president of France.

While far-right parties have been gaining strength across the EU for years, Romania has for some years prided itself on having no such equivalent in its mainstream politics.

That may change, however, as Romanian nationalists prepare to launch the "National Force", a party that models itself on France's far-right National Front.
