(Bloomberg) -- Bardera, leader of Marine Le Pen's far-right National Coalition (RN) party, supports providing Ukraine with the munitions it needs to defend itself, but he doesn't want weapons that could spark a broader war. He said he would not provide it. This appears to indicate a position relatively close to President Macron's regarding France's role in the war in Ukraine.
However, unlike Mr. Macron, he expressed opposition to the dispatch of French troops.
If the RN wins this election overwhelmingly, Bardera could become prime minister. On the 19th, he visited the Eurosatori defense exhibition held in Villepinte on the outskirts of Paris, and said, ``I want Ukraine to have the ammunition and weapons necessary for its defense,'' and added, ``I want Ukraine to have the ammunition and weapons it needs for its defense.'' "The red line remains unchanged. In other words, I am opposed to weapons that have any kind of consequences."

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced snap elections for the National Assembly (lower house), in response to far-right parties gaining ground in the European Parliament elections held in several European countries. The dissolution order was issued as the first vote approaches on June 30th. One expert pointed out to this magazine that the far-right's rise in the European Parliament elections suggests a significant rightward shift in Europe.
Other groups ordered to be disbanded are Lyon-based Les Remparts (“The Walls”), La Traboule and Top Sport Rhône, and the Islamic association Jonas Paris.
"Extreme hatred must be fought as a nation," French Interior Minister Gerard Darmanin said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
Marine Le Pen's far-right National Coalition (RN) party currently leads in all opinion polls, with Macron's centrist ruling coalition lagging behind. However, because the election is a two-round voting system and some political parties cooperate in the election, it is extremely difficult to predict the outcome.
