Deep State officials, from diplomats and civil servants to state school teachers and state-funded doctors, are vowing to defy a new populist government if Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (RN) party wins the French snap elections.
The French right has failed to form a united front for the short-notice legislative elections on June 30 and July 7 in spectacular fashion, reducing their chances of winning an outright majority. However, RN is still projected to place first, with President Emmanuel Macron’s Renaissance party falling to third place behind a far-left coalition, meaning a populist government is possible.
