Euro elections The European revolt-26th may 2014
The revolt had been a long time brewing. The rising voices of discontent. The anti-austerity protests. The steady rise of Eurosceptic parties. Even so, the shock could not be disguised when a stridently anti-EU party topped the poll in France. Only a short while ago the far right National Front (FN) was placed on the extremist fringe of French politics. The French Prime Minister Manuel Valls did not try and explain away the result. He said it was "more than just a news alert... it is a shock, an earthquake." It is all the more surprising when one remembers that France - along with Germany - is one of the principal architects of the European project. Now the FN's Marine Le Pen is claiming "a first step in a long march to liberty" away from the EU. Impact of jobs crisis So what has happened? The vote is, of course, in part a protest. The Socialist government is widely despised and unemployment remains stubbornly high. The French economy is stagnating. Marine Le Pen has cleverly tapped into the frustration with globalisation and job insecurity. She understands the fear of immigration, when nearly 26 million people are out of work in the EU. (It should also be pointed out that abstentions helped inflate the size of the FN victory.)
