| Summary: | The aim of our study was to conduct an analysis over the ballot that was held on 24-25 May in France, with emphasis on judging the results of the National Front, the group that won the elections, leaving behind both the governing party – the Socialist Party, and the second largest party in France – the Union for a Popular Movement. The spectacular results of the National Front, a far-right, nationalist and populist party, emerged in a context where the extremist Eurosceptic parties of the countries with consolidated democracies within the European Union have either won the elections or reached top positions in the European elections of 2014. |
