Excellent by @cfieschi.bsky.social: ”a display of populist confidence drawn from a particular grammar: institutions are never neutral, constraints are always traps, only the people confer legitimacy. In that grammar, criminal convictions don’t disqualify, they serve as evidence of persecution.”+

Far-right leader Marine Le Pen can—and will—run in France’s next presidential election. Catherine Fieschi asks: What does the outcome of her appeal against a 2025 embezzlement conviction mean for the country’s political future? carnegieendowment.org/europe/strat...

France’s contemporary right-wing populism is divided, creating a dynamic of dealignment and making it difficult to identify shared priorities that could support a durable alternative to other parties. @carnegieeurope.bsky.social's @cfieschi.bsky.social explains:

The French Far Right’s Foreign Policy: Big Ambitions, Uncertain Direction

The National Rally’s electoral strength, coupled with its internal fragility at a crucial political juncture, contributes to foreign policy vagueness.

The far right failed to win big in France’s municipal elections. But that’s not good news for the country’s left wing. Despite the lack of showy results, the right consolidated its momentum ahead of the 2027 presidential race, argues @cfieschi.bsky.social. carnegieendowment.org/europe/strat...

Is France Shifting Rightward?

The far right failed to win big in France’s municipal elections. But that’s not good news for the country’s left wing, which remained disunited while the broader right consolidated its momentum ahead ...

Thank you @catherinedevries.bsky.social for a wonderful conversation about writing. We don’t think often enough about what drives us to write, and the nature of the experience. It was a pleasure to do so on a sunny summer morning!

Le Pen's ban from elected office has sparked accusations from populist movements of antidemocratic behavior. But the ruling shows a commitment to the rule of law, which is the only way to counter claims that the system is rigged, says @cfieschi.bsky.social. carnegieendowment.org/europe/strat...

“What we are watching is Trump’s tariff-induced crash turning into a Truss-style fiscal crisis. The collapse in US government long bonds, Treasuries, is startling, scary. It is precisely the opposite of what Trump and his advisers expected and wanted” Robert Peston

🇪🇺🇧🇪The Bundestag has just adopted Merz’s so-called ‘budget bazooka’. This is a truly historic moment. Germany is turning its back on decades of budgetary orthodoxy and massively boosting defence spending. As Merz put it: it’s a ‘giant step toward a European defence community’. #Zeitenwende at last

Pretty good, short address to the nation by Macron tonight. Heavy emphasis on Russian threat (made a point of taking up Z’s arguments in Oval office re Putin) rather than Trump focus. Opening convo on extending French nukes deterrent to Germany (not a new story, but 1st time Germany has asked).
