The political climate in France has suddenly heated up. French President Emmanuel Macron has flagged that the country's far-right political parties are the main reason for the rise of racial discrimination and racist ideology in the country. Speaking to the media after the emergency cabinet meeting held in Paris, he accused the right-wing forces of inciting caste, religious and ethnic divisions in the society for political gain.
He expressed concern that these right-wing ideologies are becoming extremely dangerous for France's secular values and unity. Recently, Macron's government has reacted strongly to the rise of attacks on immigrants and incidents of racial discrimination in several cities in France. Macron said that the National Rally Party led by Marine Le Pen is indirectly promoting this hateful politics and is trying to spend a political party by tearing the people apart. He made it clear that the government will take strict measures to maintain law and order in the country and provide equal rights to people of all communities and racism will not be tolerated under any circumstances. These comments made by President Macron are creating a deep tremor in French politics.
Macron's allegations were strongly denied by the right-wing leaders. They counterattacked saying that the president is resorting to this kind of political criticism to cover up the growing security problems in the country and the fact that the government has completely failed to control migrants. European political circles are watching the developments closely as the issue of immigrants and racism becomes a major political issue in France in the run-up to the upcoming elections.
