This thread might be of interest tonight and going forward 🇫🇷
People are - rightly - worried about the possibility of an RN government in France. But what about a government made up of the new « Nouveau Front Populaire Â», the new left electoral grouping? What does NFP say about French foreign and security policy ? Short thread.

Thematically, it seems like "sensible left" policy, no? Doesn't seem like it would follow that they would stray much farther from NATO, collective defense, etc. than is already traditional in France

Left won't do anything crazy in this context. Some things will be pushed (Gaza stuff for sure) but the nationalist/isolationist aspects of LFI is a nonstarter
