Far-right National Rally ‘not a danger’ to France, Sarkozy claims
  • Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has stated that Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally (RN) party poses no danger to France, asserting he would not support a coalition against her in upcoming elections. This declaration comes as Sarkozy releases his memoir detailing his recent 20-day imprisonment for criminal conspiracy.
  • Sarkozy's comments reflect a significant shift in the political landscape, as he acknowledges that many of his former supporters may now lean towards Le Pen, indicating a potential realignment within the French right.
  • The evolving dynamics between traditional conservative parties and the far-right National Rally raise concerns about the normalization of extremist views in French politics, as mainstream conservatives consider alliances that could empower Le Pen's agenda.
