A study by the company OpinionWay for the newspaper “Les Echos” points out the expansion of the access of the French extreme right to all social and professional classes, especially to business executives, graduates and retirees..

According to the study, he voted in favor of Marine Le Pen’s National Alarm one in three young people aged 18 to 24, while the corresponding percentage at the ages of 50-64 it was 39%. He also voted for Le Pen’s party 35% of the employed and 40% of the unemployed.

“Overall, the social composition of the National Alarm’s voters is not fundamentally changing, but broadening,” Bruno Zanbar, vice president of OpinionWay, points out, noting the party’s further progress in categories where it was already strong.

However, as noted, the most notable is its rise in categories that until now were less oriented towards the extreme right, such as for example among business executives, where it rose to 21%, but also among retirees, as those over 65 they gave 29% to the far-right faction.
