Political anger over fuel prices is boiling over in France as the country approaches elections. The backlash is strengthening support for Europe’s far right among voters frustrated by the cost of transport. Campaign organizers are turning petrol and diesel prices into a central political issue. Right-wing parties argue that mainstream governments have failed to protect household budgets from rising energy costs. Their message is gaining traction with people who already distrust established political institutions. The developments in France could influence election campaigns elsewhere in Europe. If the trend continues, far-right parties may gain a larger voice in the next national governments.
