Följer Frankrike i Trumps spår?
Halil M. Karaveli
Sarkozy utslagen: Högern valde den mer liberale men nästan lika invandringskritiske François Fillon.
– Vi står på randen till inbördeskrig, säger den franska säkerhetspolisens chef Patrick Calvar och konstaterar att extremismen växer överallt.
– Ultrahögern bara väntar på en konfrontation. Och jag tror att den konfrontationen kommer att ske, förutspådde han när han talade inför franska nationalförsamlingens försvarsutskott tidigare i år.
Efter brexit och Donald Trumps seger i det amerikanska presidentvalet är det frågan om Frankrike, som väljer president om fem månader, står på tur att chocka världen. Högerns primärval bjöd på en första överraskning med en stor seger för François Fillon, tidigare premiärminister. Fillon representerar en katolsk höger som kombinerar socialkonservatism och nyliberalism i Margaret Thatchers anda.
