Why Le Pen and the far-right are conquering France and how Macron is paving their way.
This book explains why the far right is on the rise in France and how Emmanuel Macron's rule is leading to a possible Le Pen victory. Recently, polls have indicated for the first time that a far right candidate could win the next French presidential election in 2027. Reactionary and racist ideologues are increasingly present in the French media. Fascist violent groups are gaining ground and confidence in the streets, and assaulting more people. How did we get here?
Ugo Palheta shows that the fascist threat is rooted in the triple radicalization - neoliberal, authoritarian and racist - of the French ruling class, and its incapacity to win the consent of a large majority of the people. As a result, and as a factor of an interminable political crisis, this radicalisation has fostered the rise of a new type of fascist threat. The author therefore argues for a renaissance of anti-fascism, capable of leading the fight against the far right, and against the triple offensive that is encouraging its rise.

Ugo Palheta is currently a lecturer at the University of Lille and the co-editor of the online journal Contretemps, the main radical left journal in France . His research has focused in particular on class and racial inequalities, the social trajectories of young people from working-class backgrounds and changes in education systems. For several years he has been working on the rise of the far right and the issue of fascism: he has published several books on the subject and hosts a podcast devoted to the issues of fascism and anti-fascism. Why Fascism Is on the Rise in France has repositioned the question of fascism at the centre of intellectual debate in France.
