we are getting those pictures of marine le pen. a| those pictures of marine le pen. the far right national rally. she says in democracy nothing is better than political change. she says we need an absolute majority in order for jordan bardella to be named prime minister in eight days by emmanuel macron. the french showed their desire to turn the page after seven years of scorn and corruption. she says the second round will be decisive. we are also getting a line from the president himself which has just come into us. saying that facing the far right national rally, the time is now for a great gathering of democracy and republican values for the second round of that election. that is some instant reaction coming from marine le pen and macron. i will say goodbye to you and you will have a busy night. thank you. let bring my guests one more time. there will be a huge amount of optimism from the national rally that they can translate this positive showing to a decisive victory. is there going to be unification or unity in the opposition to block them getting that? ., , o

what was it about marine le pen�*s party that attracted you?n fact, as the former executive director of frontex, the european border and coastguard agency, i realised that at some point brussels and especially the european commission didn't want to properly control the external borders of the european union, so we had to face — and we still have to face — massive illegal immigration flows. and what i realised — that, officially, my mandate, my mission was officially to create a european corps of border and coastguard with uniforms and weapons to support european member states, to support them in protecting the external borders against illegal migration but also criminality. and the european commissioner at that time, madamejohansson, in charge of migration and justice and home affairs, she told me, "why do you need weapons and uniforms? "migrants come for love. whether you like it or not, "while border guards�* job is to welcome migrants, "europe is an ageing continent.

trying to shift, if you will on the left, just before the elections to the european parliament, marine le pened at a joint political event with george meleni, and they are rivals, well, meleni's truth was virtual, marine le pen is actually in madrid at... the party congress at the vox party rally, but she not only did she do that, she excluded from the ranks of her group in the european parliament deputies of alternatives for germany, that is, the more radical right-wing forces can no longer find a common language with those forces that were previously considered more radical, that is, over time, the conservatives are moving to the center, and the ultra-right understand that a niche has become vacant and are moving... it is moving to the left, they become right-centered , they become right-centered, that's exactly why, no, and plus, we also have to remember that some of them, becoming the authorities somewhere, as in italy , in the same place, essentially with three of the three political forces now form a coalition, including the right-wing radicals, but they went to the center, relatively s

elections to the national assembly... to the representative of the ultra-right national union of the marine le penn, this is a symbolic victory for the marine le pen party, now also in the first round, such things, of course , they destabilize, the leader of one of the main political parties of the left, will not be a member of the national assembly, because he was knocked out by the far right, perhaps just such situations will force the left to be more careful. to what will happen this week and to create such a united, consolidated list of anti-anti-ultra-right candidates, but for this the left forces of the french republic and the french president emmanuel macron and his supporters from the revival party and other centrist forces will have to somewhat reduce the antipathy, which is very strong in them, as far as will they succeed? we will see already in the coming hours of this post-election night, i think all the main statements will be made and this week will be, i would say, decisive in the political history of france and decisive for our support also of the french republic, as you understand

marine le pen sounding confident. she - and an obligation. marine le pen sounding confident. ation. marine le pen| sounding confident. she will hope this will give extra feel to her party ahead of presidential elections in 2027 where she will challenge the centre and it left for the presidency. she isjubilant and very much helpful of an absolute majority in the second round. where does this leave president emmanuel macron who took this huge gamble in calling this a snap election after the eu elections three weeks ago? it leaves him very wounded indeed. he hasissued leaves him very wounded indeed. he has issued a statement which i can bring to you now, in which he has said... he is making reference to a high turnout which was close to 70%, showing all sides wanted to get their vultures out but it has not affected but the opinion polls were telling us before this election which were all pointing to a far right victory. let's mull over what this means for france and beyond with my guest who join us here. this means for france and beyond with my guest whojoin us here. a journalist

this is something that marine le pen is trying to focus on. she has tried to de-talks if i her party and she will focus again on this during her campaign the next few weeks. tom: cohabitation. it's happened before in france, so we will see, as we lead up towards that vote at the end of this month. caroline connan with the latest out of paris paris pre-let's crossover to berlin. where bloomberg's oliver crook is standing by. olaf scholz's party coming not second, but third, talk to us about the scale of this setback for the german chancellor. >> once again, the french stealing the thunder with that snap election vote, but we remind everybody of the importance of germany with the biggest number of seats in the eu parliament. for scholz, it was a very unfortunate night, and for his entire coalition. the real winner, despite the fact that the afd did well, was the cdu, merkel's traditional center-right in germany, 30% of the vote. that was anticipated but is it is what helped brave afd doing 16%, there was a lot of question about how the afd would

let's go back to the france story where marine le pen says she will not try to push out president emmanuelet's get more in terms of the details, the consequences and bring in stephen carroll. her significant other comments from marine le pen? >> is currently off is trying joint appeal to centrist voters. would you go for emmanuel macron to resign? she said she would respect institutions. she will call for institutional chaos and she would simply have cohabitation. prime minister from another party. there was in 1997. it is part of the page that marine le pen is making. looking at the idea of what she would do if they did come in first. in a cohabitation situation, what she is referring to, they took the lead on fiscal matters. they don't have the full economic program from the national rally party in france. they cut the vat rate on certain food products to zero as well. that is something that the finance ministry would cast on 20 billion euros. that is a matter of concern for markets. they simply haven't seen it. when they do see it they will. there were massive protests. tens of thousand

here's marine le pen.ranslation: the french have spoken and this historic- election shows that when the people vote, the people win. by giving more than 32% to the national rally, the french have just given us their highest score, all parties combined, in a0 years. it is a real emotion to see this beautiful popular force rising up throughout the country. but elsewhere in europe, voters snubbed the governing parties of germany, spain and belgium. results show that overall the centre parties will be the largest bloc in the european parliament. here's its president, roberta metsola. translation: this parliament does not work with a government and in opposition, it works with majorities, we can see that the constructive pro— european centre has held and it is that centre has held and it is that centre that will be projected to build on the european project that we need to work with. the president of the european commission, ursula von der leyen, has described the results across the eu as a victory for the cent

the apartment of marine lupin meets america city, but this does not scare her, she agrees with marine le penrdelo, who before the elections to the european parliament was the lover of another niece of marine le pen, you see what a big family, about a joint investment. and expels from the party the president of the reconquista, erik zimur, who on the same evening expels marion malishal from his party. marion continues to share seats with her aunt, while zimur offers his own candidates in all constituencies where a member of the national association will run, on the other hand, on the left flank, and it happens complete unification, of all forces, from the left, the moderates to the extreme left, and everyone says, see how the left is, brave, they united without any problems, uh, and they are socialists to... unite with unruly france, jean-luc mélenchon, one of the most popular left-wing politicians in europe, the ultra-left politicians of europe. and then suddenly today it turns out that jean-luc milanchon, taking advantage of this situation, executed from the lists of his own party people wh

marine le pen became her representative from there, and now that it has been announced, approx. he won 57 votes in that city, and mrs. maine le pen directly entered the parliament in the first round, and in another city in the north of france, mr. jared dermann, the current minister of the interior , who is currently the minister of the interior of france, won about 44 votes, and therefore lost he couldn't make it in the first round . thank you mr. shohasl hosseini. i am very grateful for the information you shared with us about the results of the first round of the parliamentary elections in france. now our next contact has been established . analyze this let's talk about the preliminary results. mr. dolatabadi, hello , hello, i'm at your service. before talking to you , we talked to mr. shahrini, our reporter in paris. he got the latest statistics of the seats that people were able to get . he said that the right-wing national social movement party was able to get about 34 votes. the second place did not go to macron. with the coalition of the new popular front, they took 29 se

it is uncharted territory, just a reminder that the national rally is here to the party of marine le pen'sty amid a more acceptable to the mainstream, but still they will be a lot of people, immigrants in this country he will be worried about the programme, clamping down on migration, removing the automatic right to get french nationality if you are born in this country, getting a priority for french people of immigrants in terms of national welfare. some of the party pledges would be unconstitutional and might have to be forced through any constitution. this country is having shock waves as we speak cent through it, we will have to see whether there is a majority for the far right after sunday's second round, or as whether the prime minister said that is a united front to block it. that is all from paris for now. i will hand you back. many thanks to you, the team and the guests live in paris but the reaction to those exit polls. the historic result if confirmed. we turn to the euros — where england have come within a minute of being knocked out — but managed to beat slovakia to secure the

what was it about marine le pen�*s party that attracted you? in fact, as the former executive director of frontex, the european border and coastguard agency, i realised that at some point brussels and especially the european commission didn't want to properly control the external borders of the european union, so we had to face — and we still have to face — massive illegal immigration flows. and what i realised — that, officially, my mandate, my mission was officially to create a european corps of border and coastguard with uniforms and weapons to support european member states, to support them in protecting the external borders against illegal migration but also criminality. and the european commissioner at that time, madamejohansson, in charge of migration and justice and home affairs, she told me, "why do you need weapons and uniforms?

marine le pen has been hostile to the eu. ian: very hostile. brexit went badly for the u.k. ine le pen is pulling so well in her party is because she has backed away from frexit and instead picked up all the policies that show euro skepticism. where she to become premier, i think she would be aligned with hungry and a trump policy on europe which essentially means europe would get weaker, not stronger at a time when a lot more countries including ukraine are counting on a stronger europe for their own well-being. david: you take a global look at these things. are there trends you are seeing more broadly? we are seeing a rise of populism, often on the left and the right, not in the center. something in india where mr. modi one won -- mr. modi won -- certainly with donald trump, is there a rise? ian: yes, incumbents are getting weaker generally speaking. you are seeing a strong push for change, elections, except in the small number of countries where the leaders were really seen as being themselves, very supportive of local, working and middle-class. mexico is the exception. th

a kiss for marine le pen this morning. nce considered too extreme for most french voters, today her national rally is on a roll. and with le pen, her 28—year—old protegejordan bardella, who's hoping to be france's next prime minister. results show their party, on the left, has won over a third of all votes cast — a stunning result foran anti—immigrant, euroskeptic populist platform. a political earthquake in the making, perhaps. this evening, le pen told the country it had no reason to fear a government led by the national rally. but this fight is not over yet. president emmanuel macron took a huge gamble by calling the election. "smile," says the child, and he does. the french president is now hoping a broad alliance of the centre and left can keep the national rally out of power in a second round of voting. but there's no guarantee that will work. in paris today, preparations for the upcoming olympic games. but france's political polarisation is causing alarm. i think it's concerning that we have people in our country who

remember we're talking about the rally party which is founded by marine le pen's father. a man who once chronicled the nazi concentration camps a detailed history, he was absolutely unpalatable to the french. marine le pen, his daughter took it over, change the name, detoxified it as we have seen in many other parts of europe and made the far right kind of voted bull. buy a large swathes of voted bull. buy a large swathes of french people who would never managed in the past. they promised things like a big bang in terms of public authority, banning mobile phones, making repeat offenders, there parents would face welfare benefits being removed. the hardline message online order, immigration, reversing britain, macron�*s rise in the retirement age is pushing support for the national rally, i think the question tonight is in a sense not whether they win, they are expected to win, it is a question of how big that is and whether the push to the second round and the opposition that is frankly disgusted by the idea of the far right in power here, put up enough of a united front t

some are teaming up on the left and, of course, you have marine le pen's very strong far right. on what is happening?— what is happening? it's a clarification _ what is happening? it's a clarification of _ what is happening? it's a clarification of a - what is happening? it's a clarification of a new i clarification of a new political landscape where, as you said, we now have three main political forces. you said, we now have three main politicalforces. we used to have the left versus the right divide that was dominating and now we have an extremely high far right led by marine le pen and gathering some of the republican right as well. the centre that's been crumbling in the european election which is macron's party and on the left, and extremely quick coalition called the popular front that goes from former president francois ballon d'or all the way to anticapitalist parties. so this is the inaudible and a three party system will be really chaotic in terms of gathering and maturity in the parliament to then pass laws so a lot of instability ahead. yes, and is it possible to pre

marine le pen, who at one time called the annexed crimea.russia and its french national association received more than 30%. closest competitor far behind, and this is the list of the incumbent president, who received half the number of votes. because of this, emmanuel macron decided to dissolve the parliament early. at the end of june , the french will choose a new one that matches their mood. this is not a good result for pro-european parties, including the presidential majority. the extreme right -wing parties, which in recent years have been opposing... significant progress in our europe, whether it is economic recovery, general border protection, support for farmers, aid to ukraine, these parties are achieving success everywhere on continent right-wing parties also lead in italy, austria and belgium. the belgian premier, in whose country parliamentary elections were held at the same time as the european ones, is resigning for the sake of the success of the right. the voices of the right will definitely sound louder in the european parlia

here's marine le pen.: the french have spoken and this - historic election shows that when the people vote, the people win. by giving more than 32% to the national rally, the french have just given us their highest score, all parties combined, in a0 years. it's a real emotion to see this beautiful popular force rising up throughout the country. the big question now — where does this leave the european parliament? here's the president of the european comission, ursula von der leyen, who has promised to build a "bastion against extremes" in the eu's assembly. no majority can be formed without epp, formed without epp, and together, and that is important. together with others, we will build a bastion bastion against the extremes from the left and the right. we will stop them. this is for sure. my colleague christian fraser has been in brussels, watching the results and exit polls unfold throughout the evening. the polls are closed and the finance rejection would be worked out within the 27 countries on stage.

because on the one hand the national association, marine le pen and jordan bardela, the young leader, the official leader of this party, they say that they are very sympathetic to ukraine, they say that they are ready to help ukraine, and they condemned the russian aggression, but in between all this there are, let's say, disgruntled statements that european sanctions are harmful. say, the french economy, there are disgruntled hints that military aid to ukraine should also be limited, that is, when it comes to supporting ukraine, there are reasons, and in particular, the past position of marine le pen, there are reasons not to trust the statements of those those forces about sympathy for ukraine, therefore, if they are to... maybe the same successes as in the elections to the european parliament, then changes in france's position will certainly be, although president emmanuel macron remains in office, and it is the president who determines france's defense and foreign policy. myroslav, i wanted to talk about another topic, you are now in berlin and the conference on the restoration of

trumpism, the new reincarnation of marine le pen, that's it trumpism by and large, here is this new onet the same as the national association before, but now this policy, you see, marine lippen under the israeli flag, this is not jean marie lippen with anti-semitic statements, but why is she under the israeli flag an outpost of the west in the middle east, uh, that's about how these far-right forces used to be under... their position, and there are examples like that . he had almost none allies in the world, now he can gather miley, le pen, orban, andrzej duda for his inauguration. because now the ultrapraya faction in the european parliament, you understand yaroslav kaczynski, is george maloney. imagine how many politicians have become who share trump's principles in latin america and europe, and this also suggests that the republicans have understood which way to go in order to maintain power, politics is always a struggle for power, and the means for this struggle very often they are not chosen, and as such like these people who, like mitch mcconnell, talk about the need to preserve

european parliament managed to hold a large pre-election rally in madrid in support of it, and marine le pename to this rally, and george meleni, the prime minister of italy, and viktor orban addressed this rally via video link, we don't have it yet, unfortunately, the results the elections in hungary and in italy, it would be interesting to see how this presence affected this story, but there is... the elections in bulgaria, in bulgaria, it's such an interesting moment, because there's something, literally right now there's going to be an election in the parliament is an important thing, and by and large the winner of these elections was herb, this is the famous party of former prime minister boyko borisov, which even now wants to regain power, it has 26% of the vote, five seats in the parliament, we continue the changes, party that recently was. in coalition with herb, but this coalition broke up, has 16% of the vote and three seats, and also has almost 15% of the vote and also three seats is the ultra-right revival party, which, it is oriented towards moscow, and this is also not such an

macros, parties polling in a distant third place behind marine le pen's party in first, and a coalitionies and second so what could the future of french politics hold? joining me now is sophie petr, the paris bureau chief of the economist. >> so welcome so first from everything, you can tell what was the logic behind this. he does badly, his party gets trounced in the european elections, but he didn't have to hold elections for the french parliament what do you think motivated him? and it appears to have been macron's decision alone yes, that's right. >> and of course, under the french fifth republic constitution, it is the power of the president to dissolve the national assembly when he wishes to do so he is using that constitutional power. it took everybody by surprise. i mean, literally everybody including his own prime minister who only learned about this decision about an hour before it was announced. and the one argument is indeed the one you've just pointed to fareed, it's that this could in time help make the heart rate look less electable. 42027 when the presidency as at stake,
