French President Emmanuel Macron has shifted towards right-wing policies, advocating for school uniforms, crackdown on drugs gangs, and measures to boost the declining birth rate. His language suggested a recalibration of his program to counter the challenge from the hard-right nationalists of Marine Le Pen. Macron's address, which included promises to continue the fight against illegal immigration and crack down on drugs gangs, has drawn criticism from left-wing commentators for its "outdated not to say conservative vision" of France, while right-wing commentators have expressed delight at his apparent conversion to their views.

The Right-Wing Surge: Reshaping the EU

Governments across Europe are shifting right, with far-right leaders taking power in some countries and center-right parties aligning with right-wing fringes in others.
