Why the far right finds so much support among young voters in France | DW News

France is due to vote in snap elections at the end of the month, and polls show the opposition far-right National Rally could come out on top. Surveys also show that their message is resonating among young voters. In recent European elections, the far-right took in nearly 30 percent of the youth vote nationally. DW correspondent Sonia Phalnikar joined some of the party's youth wing southwest of Paris to see what's driving their rise.

All of Europe. Is sick of mass migration.

[davidkanizsai]

"Far right", "far right", "far right". I couldn't even count how much time this report repeated this false statement. Not wanting uncontrolled immigration into Europe is NOT far right. It is common sense.

[HoboGodfrey]

It's impossible for Sharia to integrate into Europe society.

[MyCamilla]

So some of you thought you could get away with letting millions of people in no questions asked and your native population would be absolutely fine with it? There's nothing left or right about border control. It is crucial.

[wobdmwx]

when you are on the left edge everything is FAR RIGHT...

[gerlyno]

More gas lighting. The reporter is not courageous enough to point out what section of society is responsible for these vicious antisemitic violence in France.

[CanadianFitted]

Far right if you want your sisters to be able to walk home safe at night 😅

[twkriff]

Uncontrolled Immigration can be a problem and have negative impacts in all nations, And it is not a right VS left issue, The Media needs to acknowledge this fact.

In Europe, there's a growing sense of neglect towards the younger generation. They face lower salaries, longer work hours, and increased responsibilities while witnessing a surge in billionaires, particularly in countries like Germany.
The housing market adds to their woes, as property prices soar, making it difficult to afford homes, let alone start families. To compensate, cheap labor from abroad is often favored, leading to frustration among the youth, who feel betrayed.
People aren't inherently racist, but this frustration arises when governments prioritize external labor over addressing domestic issues. It's high time politicians acknowledge and tackle these pressing concerns rather than resorting to distractions. The younger generation deserves meaningful change.

Ironical that "Paresh" and "Phalekar" are the faces of DW reporting about migration into europe😂

[blackburnheart]

Bardella is called "Far Right" while Mélenchon is called "left"...🤡

[rodroesp]

And uncontrolled immigration is NOT a problem in Europe? Truly?

[corvetteenjoyer]

Save Europe ⚡⚡. No hate, just get them out of here.

[zen]

I think it's perfectly reasonable to not want illegal and other forms of uncontrolled immigration.
Like most things in life, there can be too much of a good thing.

[Russell]

“Far right” = normal people who want their country back

[Kosovar_Chicken]

Do you think when the Moores were conquering Spain, those who opposed them were called “far right” 😂😂😂

[enriquegaleano]

This indian reporter saying people in rural areas vote for right because now they have to use cars... and not because people themselves said they do not feel safe 🤯

[shivrambarran]

Why is it far right vs left ? Stop calling your regular ppl far right.

[Zockopa]

One of my daughters said to me she no longer goes alone into the city
because she always gets hit on by young male foreigners.
And that was in Germany in a middle sized town 20 years
And it went downhill noticable from that since.
So no wonder ppl are fed up meanwhile and especialy those who effectivly
are confronted with it: the youth.

[roninxix]

When is DW going to do a report on the Far Left? Oh that’s right, they don’t want to offend their base.
