Why is the the right-wing (RN) gaining political ground in #rural France? Benoît Coquard tells @mediapart.fr it is because where hard work and resourcefulness are valued, RN's message resonates with the reality of widespread competition for jobs and social standing. bit.ly/4tWyci0 #HorizonEU
bit.ly
« Le RN valorise ses électeurs en leur disant qu’ils ne sont pas des “assistés” »
Pourquoi le RN s’ancre-t-il dans les campagnes en déclin ? Parce que là où le travail et la débrouille sont valorisés, son discours colle à la réalité d’une concurrence généralisée pour l’emploi et la respectabilité sociale. Un défi immense pour les gauches.
