On April 10th, Marine Le Pen arrived once again in the second round of the French Presidential election.
How can we understand the complexity of the emergence of the far right?
Who votes for these far-right candidates? If economic variables only partially (and therefore imperfectly) explain a political inclination to the far right, what can we mobilize to draw up a complete sociology of far right voters?
How do the forms of the media landscape, but also the ideological decisions and directions of the governments, organize the debate around fault lines favorable to the deployment of extreme right-wing ideas?
What are the zones of resistance among popular groups that do not adhere to the far-right vote or to xenophobic ideologies?
What political strategies should be developed to curb the development of reactionary and xenophobic ideas and promote progressive and emancipatory political projects?
Speaker∙e∙s:
Lucie Delaporte
Journalist at Mediapart in charge of the right and the extreme right
Violaine Girard
Sociologist, author of the book Le vote FN au village
Nicolas Massol
Journalist at Libération in charge of the far right for the presidential campaign
