a french regional election, delta area bank for manuel mac mall and marine append neither of their parties managed to secure a single victory. so what will this mean for next year's presidential race and is the political map in france changes this is inside. ah, ah, ah. hello and welcome to the program i'm fully by people. this week's regional elections in france were

supposed to bolster the chances of victory for the nation's top. 2 candidates ahead of next year's presidential vote, but neither a manager in macross governing party nor maureen le pen far right won a single region in sundays vote. that will likely prove challenging, particularly for my call after 5 years of being in office and without a regional victory to show for it. my home will face competition from center, right? candidate driving back home will comfortably one the oldest hoss region. the results suggest next year's presidential race may be more wide open than many thought. depends. main disappointment was in the 7 stronghold of hamas ad code. does you that despite making attempts to attract more voters by softening her anti immigration and anti e u stance? just because it did tell me i'm more than ever determined to devote all my energy and my will to rehabilitate politics, to give it back its usefulness and its efficiency to the benefit of the french.

because the presidential election appears more than ever to be the election that will allow us to have a change in politics and policies. and may the french give us their support in this mission. i'm calling on the french from to morrow to build together the alternative that france needs. so let's take a closer look at the results of frances regional elections. as we mentioned, my call center is republic on the move has failed to win any region in its 1st regional election. the party was not yet established the last time the vote was held in 2015 exit bold suggest conservative is kept 7 regions and the left is still in control of 5 and nearly all the incumbent, regional leaders who run whether left to right one victories in sunday's vote, that of course includes conservative v back tahoes. now poise says the center rights best choice for challenging my home. and then in next year's raise to the lazy. now the voter turnout was at the record lows in the 2 rounds. that's tension

rates were estimated at more than 65 percent as a majority of young voters failed to show up. here's what some of them had to say. i am one of those will abstain. i didn't vote in these elections. i couldn't find what i was looking for in terms of candidates. i didn't want to vote for the list because i was deceived. and i did want to vote for the light all the because i have no vote for them to resume it. instead of constantly pointing the finger at the french people, it would be better to see the problem in the political class. people are not interested in voting because they feel that they have not heard the inflection. i think it's a lesson that needs to be drawn for those in charge about humanity consideration towards voters and humility. they have to stop being out of touch with reality and treating french people's children. they have to stop assuming french people are not intelligent enough to express their need. ah, well let's bring in august for today's inside story in paris, we have

a nasty hygienist, a sophie ologist, then professor at the university of paris 8 in bath in the u. k. or william o don't a senior lecturer in politics at the university of bath and also of reactionary democracy. and in some my law france jack, how long i senior research fellow at the global policy institute, a warm welcome to you all. thank you very much for joining us, jack. hold on, let me start with you, please. if i can, there's been relentless talk of a my color pen dual in next year's presidential election. and yet here you have their parties before me really badly in these regional elections. to what do you attribute this, this small performance, what went wrong for them by can attribute this wrong performance of toys. and reuben, to the fact that you know that any candidates, did, you know, control any of the regions of departments before ad we've seen in this addiction

that there's been a premium to the incumbents, the editor or map of france as of changed to traditional right? 7 neutral region regions and the left socialist and their lives, sometimes with the grid of 5 rigid. so it's the same map as a few years ago. so that was a problem for the national front and the level m a month of micro day did not have any implementation at this level. but there is no the factor as and the fact that 2 thirds of the people voted purely for local the shoes. and most people are quite happy with the way the regions are run. the ridges are in charge of transport, education, and it couldn't be given the moment enough to do could be try these. people felt

that the situation was managed pretty well. so therefore they will be pleased ad need feel the need to change, right. so that low turn out shack, hold on, let me just interrupt you for a 2nd. there was a clearly a very low turnout. could it also be down to the fact that there is a disconnect between the french electorate and the french political system? there is a disconnect between the french electrodes and the people who've seen it, and people decided to act politically. but not true. art parties are true up the no more addictions, especially the real corrections don't matter that much except thought municipal or addiction when you had a mayor that mayor is, therefore, the turnout is high. but many people don't know exactly what your origins are doing . and it just says i'm, it's true, it's part of a drive with especially the young people, 9 of 9 in 10 upstage. and we've saw that most people who voted were people

the over the age the, the higher the amount was, how can young people not really feel feel connected with parties, but it doesn't mean that young people, these are political, they're about to be interested in parties, but they are interested in associations act locally. there's many ways to express your ways politically. as we've seen in frogs, it could be done outside party. traditional predicts to get this movement for these very good examples of political involvement outside your traditional nasty right. let me bring you in because i see that you want want to jump in here as i couldn't say local elections don't matter a lot because you know, if to try to expand this low turn out. so is any of what's happening today relevant to next year to 2022. in your opinion nasa,

there's definitely irrelevant to what's happening in the past and in the close future. and i would add that the fact that there was a very poor turnout maybe also explained by the fact that there is a defiance against the state. let's not forget that the, the way the pandemic was dealt with was quite actiq among, along those months. and also that the, these elections were not supposed to take place at this very time because of the pandemic. so there is a define the can be explained to this or turn out. and also the fact that the young people will vote as not so much to do with the fact that they are the sensing themselves from la politics on the whole as this. your also just said. but rather than they,

the way the elections are dealt with in france on organized is at odds with the way younger generations are relating to organization to expressing themselves. i mean, they use facebook, they use instagram when they want to know about what's going on on the street. what are the demonstrations, what other trends they go on in the room? and asking those people to go to a place to vote or file all kind of before and in order to act, someone eligible for them is just completely disconnected from the way. so they engage, so there is a disconnect, let me bring into the conversation. oh, my cross party, the republic on the move had played to revolutionize and rejuvenate french politics . and yet you have this very disappointing performance from them. why do you think the president's party has failed to convert 5 years in power at the national level,

into grassroots support? well, i think it's been an appalling presidency in this regard. really. i think you know where the noise, what about maximum was making in a campaign of 2017 and straight after election on a number of matters with regard to democracy with regard to, to certain progressive elements. but he was talking about at the time, is backdrop on the massively and instead is become, is become a typical politician is become yet another establishment politician, which i think was, was obvious. but it would happen this way, but i think people hoped for something better. i mean, it's worth remembering, but in 2017, when mccoy elected many people voted for him and not because they believe in him, not because he was a breath of fresh air, but because it was released with candidates for many people. and he also went remembering, but the people who actually brought him to power were not young people. they were not the people that he was supposed to be appealing to,

that instead it was older people. and, and i think if it's kind of made lots of kind of tend around, per se, is pregnancy. and i think that hasn't helped at all. and the fact that he's been trying to go to move to the right. really, i think because a lot of issues and another piece trust amongst the electorate and people i just, i just massively put off by the, by the public schools in france at the moment. they don't recognize themselves public discourse studies based on moral panics on, on, on is lemme will be on, on, on yet, on bias, moral panics can for culture and so on and so forth. and i think people have other issues, but they want to, they want tackled and they want to be discussed and they don't find themselves enough in these discussions by petitions or media. it's interesting that you say that my call has been trying to move to the right. because my pen, the far right leader, is like how long has been accused of moving away from the far right. you know, she's been accused of, of trying to be too soft now within her party. how do you explain the far

right performance? i mean, they haven't won a single region. they were expected to win at least 3 if not 5, including the southern packer region. what went wrong for marines, marine the pay far? right. ok, is it difficult to extrapolate into george lessons from real gratian towards the national. but i think it's important, i think my call as no style the new selection, but look, pen is the big loser. because the pen for that she does have the degree of credibility to, to dig detoxification program, trying to become more good, move more will descend the ride on some issues like or repetitive program which is kind of left we what it does to be could me, but remains very strongly right and strongly obsessed we law and order the migration and some of these boxes of accused thing that's, that's the reason for the fact that she's managed to retrieve

a shelf devote and to his 5 companions. but i don't agree with that effect in many respects. she's eating glass sitting with people. i've not been to please the memory of the debate in 2017, the j catastrophic debate. the problem and she's not yet present, shouldn't debate. she was completely blown caused by michael and people don't think she's done competent at the same job. you have no people on the right such as w got call with the big we know the night. wonder where your interest love the traditional, right? i have a chance to be elected the national revolt and that's the regional level. they've adopted many of the shoes championed by mary lou we so on the, on sunday night, the 1st acceptation speech

w got call was knocked about these victories. origin was a presidential speech of start to the campaign. and for me is campaign was very, it wasn't very much liked national light. i say please, as opposed to my call will be less supposed to more or less is not too much from robot. his issue and he's more protectionist. at the same time, he's very popular, he's appealing to the left out, the yellow vest, who actually voted in a fair amount to was not in the bed, and he's very tough. all immigration is some. so is the school's was all about that, use the free ours identity is security, immigration. meaning the rob go to adult, ease actually of you bite, but yes. just say program. i liked a version of the program,

but if you both ok with any ask me. i didn't have thoughts about that. my pen as jack hold on says has had a strategy of detoxification. she softened her on tie e, you sent her on tie integration stamps. do you think this is backfired? and could we see as a result of this poor performance in regional elections? could we see her leadership being contested within the far right movement? oh well. 1 i wouldn't be sure that there could be anyone to replace her so far from the far right. why they've been talk of the t v commentator. the meetings in the police and, and against or yeah, i was about to say it more. that kind of joke. if i may say so, i mean there's nothing serious about what it means or phase or dive. as a commentator, there is a long wrong between being a commentator and someone who can run

a country just as we are discovering for the past 5 years. there's, there's a, there's a long run between being a banker and becoming the president of the french republic. but, but the way i do a tv show host could become president as the american example has shown. so could you, could you precisely, we learn lessons from the past and from the present. and the us are not the front of the franchise as we're being told again and again, although i wouldn't agree on all issues about the us being so different from france . but about this one about the fact that someone who is a, he's on tv could become the next president. i wouldn't trust very much that people would take seriously. the kind of is especially not, not that there is no racism in france. of course there is. and the fact that the far right is rising from one election to another for the past 40 years is

a proof of that. but nevertheless, i would say that a lot of people would not consider like in italy like and in brazil, that someone that has never been as a center at the center and being someone who has been running responsibilities could be able to, to run a country. but going back to the pen, i would say that so far there is, it's very unlikely that she would gain anything more than she has already done. because what was explicit in the way that you run this last campaign. i'm that she is very our guns. and she takes for granted the fact that, of course, people would want to vote for her party. and for her, she personalizes the launch the election. and. and the same time, one should keep in mind that this last election was very much about ideal logical

attacks about of framing people that are not supposed to be loyal to the republic, which has nothing to do right away, regions are wrong. ok, let me, i think he's solved about just moving away from the, the performance of the far right and the president's party. we saw a strong boost for mainstream parties of the right and the left. the french daily, the mon describing it as the revenge of the parties of the old world, the left, the socialist in particular, were essentially considered as dead. how, how do you think they were able to come back from the dead? was this an ideological victory as nothing seems to say? no, i don't think so, and i don't think they came back from that and i don't see the socialist party playing any role in international elections next year. and i'm not even sure little people we live or so i think they are very in the,

to the old world. and i don't think they managed to recreate themselves in the last few years and to offer something about actually, but french people want, i think what's fascinating about the results really, you know, going back to, to, to live in my little chinese, about the, our, occupying a very, very small section of the french electorate and french politics, which he is interested in insecurity in immigration, in any kind of things which are course appealed to a certain number of people, but only appeal to so many people. and if so many people, you know, want to finance has really managed to do more than 10 to 15 percent of registered voters. you know, he's kind of ideas on the appeal to a small section of the electro. and i think what we're seeing with these massive extension, 2 thirds of a population abstaining. yes, 2nd order elections but still to fit the population of standing, i think shows us that there is a demand for different kinds of politics for politics, but actually not the old world of the socialist party and not the older people are not stuck with the not loans,

but also not the bar. right. and all we've been giving to, to people into the french people in terms of public political discussion and public discussion, investor years. i've been around the issues of a fall, right. i think people are tired of it's been seen through that. they sing for 5, but you know, big day to day issues. i knocked down to immigration but not down to islam, bit down to other things. and i think what they want is proper alternative. but one of them will be, you know, what are your thoughts on this seems to say that the french are not interested in traditional parties anymore, whether left or right. what are the alternatives is if not left or right? by the moment i don't see many, oh jeez, i see, but i agree to a certain extent with over the yeah that people not that but the local when you talk to them, when you see that's really obsessed with the shoes, which have been banded by national france free eyes as we say,

but unfortunately doesn't pull the company of those companies counting now. but really the edge and of the company as been said, like in 2002 when penny came segment too shocking to strong all of the shoes on these issues. day in day, out on to the vision in front of you have even knowledge. the news channel on which it appears, which tends to promote or was this climate is security and always linking it to immigration journal. very open to it and it's beginning maybe to tie some people, but it seems to be paying off because every one, every single day has been obliged to take a position to see your let's can have a very to oppose it. but at the same time, you have to show some credibility on the issue of law and order. and it's the problem it's going to do me need to come in and it frightens me is if it's

a company based on that, we've seen that pose of michael was not that bothered about this issue. if i them to, these pharma on the left pen is out to play leap service with his speech on nice to day last last autumn, which was very interesting and misunderstood in many in the muslim world. thinking that he wasn't thinking, it is very soft. it's never been done, he has never been it's thing and therefore it would like the addiction to be on other issues. but unfortunately the agenda, as we said by the bed and the people are getting the more in the media. and unfortunately, it's sort of so be taken up by the people on the right by do it publicans. as soon as i said, yeah, okay. it's exactly who she's who she's just send buttons. net and right now everyone is predicting the bit back. how will do quite well in the presidential

race next year, and i just want to get your final thoughts on this. what lessons can be drawn from this regional election and will the presidential vote in 2020 to be completely different? yes, absolutely. will be different because there are many more issues that will be arranged across the campaign. and the other thing that i think that we are under the meeting is the left wing coalitions that could come out of the selection. and the fact that those that didn't go voting or expecting nothing different icons from those coalitions so far. the fact that the view about hall, for example, is the great winner of the election. and the fact that he presents himself as the next runner for the right in the presidential election is mainly wishful thinking. he needs more than this in order to be,

to drain the electorate towards his candidacy. and what i think that we are really looking we should look at is the way issues such as a structural role in quantities as climate change. and a way you can packed really every day life will be more than with think and the center of the read the presidential election. and we shouldn't be always say i was yes and take him for granted that it will be about security on immigration. depends on the people in france that the, the elections are not about whether far right is, is saying and dog barking all the time. all right, the race is still wide open. thank you very much for a very interesting discussion on, on the french political scene. right. now, jack, how long oily am on don't and nasty right. guinea, thank you all and thank you for watching. you can watch just program again any time
