So right wing government in France incoming in 3 weeks. Interesting times.

Is this confirmed already? I don't think this happens so close to Olympics in Paris

Multiple media outlets report.

BBC

Oh shit. This is gonna be interesting

Imagine they'll start burning cars in the middle of the Olympics 🤣

Le Pen [her name]

What's the logic here, try and secure another term before the wheels fall off completely?

I don't think that would be the smart move. I think it's more a, "we failed, we can't go on like this" move. The French tend to show clearly when they are not happy, compared to many other countries.

In Spain, politics is also very strange, these elections are going to surprise a lot of people. I'm not sure whether in a good or bad way 😅😂🤷‍♂️

Let me tell ya what's going to happen in Germany: We will continue suffering until the next election just to confirm what everyone knows. And it's not even me making this all up - I'm just copy-pasting what they're discussing on BBC rn...
