Former member of British Parliament, Lembit Opik argues that France’s anti-government protests reflect a deepening crisis of confidence in Europe’s political establishment, driven by public anger over economic policies, declining political credibility and mounting opposition to Western military spending.
He warns that heavy-handed policing and the failure of leaders to address public grievances risk further escalation, while suggesting that the unrest could reshape France’s political landscape ahead of the 2027 presidential election and strengthen the prospects of Marine Le Pen’s National Rally.
