The only way for the French far-right to ever make a breakthrough is if they were to abandon „Islamo-gauchisme“ in favour of attracting wealthier conservative Arab and Muslim voters in France like what Trump did in 2024 and what the UK Reform Party is currently trying to do under Zia Yusuf.
LFI became more popular as a party in France because the „Islamo-gauchisme“ moral panic of 2021 caused centrist and right-wing parties to abandon campaigning in neighbourhoods with strong immigrant, nonwhite and Muslim voting blocs, causing left-wing parties like the LFI to sweep these areas up especially with the latter’s strong opposition to the genocide in Gaza and being one of the few parties to call out Islamophobia in French society.
If anything, the last few years have proven that Arab and Muslim voting blocs have become essential to French political campaigns and that it’s time for all parties to the right of PS to consider attracting Muslim voters instead of fearmongering over „Islamo-gauchisme“. RN would need a „Miami Cuban“ bloc of French Muslim voters if they ever want to get a breakthrough, which unfortunately is a pipe dream especially with Bardella’s strong support for Israel.
Ironically, Marine Le Pen nearly broke ground with French Muslims via her friendship with the comedian Dieudonne and wanted him to strategize a campaign to attract Muslim voters only for the Charlie Hebdo attack to put an end on all that and Le Pen returned to Islamophobia after that.

Let’s wait for the second round, and then we can draw conclusions.

Less bad than anticipated but still bad.
