'The far right is now in power': French media blast tough immigration law • FRANCE 24 English

IN THE PRESS – Wednesday, December 20: French media almost unanimously criticise the controversial immigration law backed by the government of President Emmanuel Macron. While the left sees the legislation as pandering to the far right, the right is mostly critical of the process leading to its passing. Also: two household names in France are in more hot water over sexual assault accusations. We finish with a look at the worst tourist behaviour in 2023.

France24 cries that peoples voice is heard and not the governements. A good day for democracy!

[properpolymath]

"Far Right" has come to mean anything that's not even slightly left of center

[ABC-rhzc]

There is no far right in France, you muppets. Just common sense.

[stevenrn]

The the militant, radical and far-left have to admit the "far-right" simply means normal and centrist.

I am an Indian and leaving France to go back home after 5 wonderful years. But this news makes me so happy. Finally people are waking up.
Let France 24 cry as much as they want. Their time is coming to an end. Good luck. Viva La France.

[RedbadvanRijn-ftvv]

Its not far right.
Its far good, against far wrong.

[keacoq]

Can you do a summary of just what has been passed. And just what its status is. There is so much opinion on line but not many facts!!!

[sprigly]

Your "far-right" grift is falling on deaf ears.

[gyanendrakumarsatapathy]

Whoever rules the country right or left. Decision have to be taken at nation interest. Party can't be bigger than nation

[vikingshelm]

People are woen out with all of the b.s.EVERYWHERE
Facts

[Muhmmad_saw]

Peaceful community crying in the corner.

[Melungeonpeople]

Then the government can stop providing assistance to the territories in France that refuse to implement the law. Let's see how long they hold out😅

[Scidzcopter]

its the "far right ?" so 80% of French are far right since this is what the poles says.

[TheAArmstrong]

Oh diddums!!! The Faaaah raaayt took my precious migrants away 😂

[tremblence]

Controlled immigration is good
There has been too much, and Europe must remain the homeland of just like Japan is the homeland of Japanese

[gxyb]

Wonderful to see Europeans finally waking up to save their societies and cultures. May every European country follow France's lead. Vive la France!

[LinaGonsalves-yb]

The nation is important. There is nothing like left or right wing.

[JanSmets-bgie]

Don't worry, they will keep coming just as much as always if not more and nobody will do anything about it. Then, when the last remains of the welfare state dissapears and everybody lives in abject poverty we finally will have paid for our racism.

[sakismpalatsias]

Short term it sounds like that bit long term. Its neutralising the far right on european elections. Its something i stated they needed to do for a while.

[Frankabagnale]

Far right aka everybody except the far left
