Left-wing parties and activists rallied in Paris this weekend, uniting against the far right amid growing political tensions in France.
Thousands of demonstrators gathered in the heart of Paris this weekend as left-wing parties and civic groups staged a large-scale rally in opposition to the rising influence of far-right politics in France. The protest was sparked by recent political developments, including the court ruling barring Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally (RN), from running in the 2027 presidential election due to a conviction for embezzlement.
Chanting slogans in defense of democracy, social justice, and human rights, protesters filled the streets near Place de la République, calling attention to what they describe as an urgent need to counter xenophobia, nationalism, and political extremism. The rally featured speeches from union leaders, climate activists, and politicians from the French left, all emphasizing unity against far-right ideologies.
Prime Minister François Bayrou addressed the situation with caution, urging all sides to demonstrate "calm, mutual respect, and a spirit of responsibility" to avoid confrontation.
The event marks a significant moment in France’s ongoing political debate, as public concern grows over the polarization of society and the challenges posed to democratic values. With national elections approaching, the rally signals a renewed determination among progressive forces to shape the country’s future direction.
