Not really. France is having a deficit crisis, which led to the collapse of the general assembly five times, leading to five different prime ministers being appointed, and yet the current government still refuse to raise taxes on the rich if they want to cover the deficit. All this government ineptitude is pushing the far right closer and closer to the cusp of power.
Dude it was obvious sarcasm.
Maybe you're a Brit for not reading everything as sarcasm.
Are the right wingers in France for taxing the rich?
Ofc not. Right wing IS the party of the rich. Knowingly or not.
Funny you asked because I haven't heard them advocate for it. What the right in France does is oppose any budget cuts, but blame the immigrants for social and financial woes. Opposing the budget cuts is where the left and right actually agree on, except for the migrant part, of course. But the problem with the French left is the typical infighting, so they can't form a united front against the centrist neoliberals and right.
