PARIS ― The allies of far-right leader Marine Le Pen have claimed “an ideological victory” as Emmanuel Macron’s government seeks a compromise with hardline conservatives on a beleaguered immigration bill.The French president’s centrist coalition in recent days have openly discussed requesting immigrants to work or reside in France for several years before claiming benefits. The proposals echo some of the far right’s long-time obsessions, including the ideas of Jean-Marie Le Pen, the founder of the National Rally party, who campaigned in favor of a “national preference,” which meant excluding foreigners from state benefits and council housing.While the proposals put forward by Macron’s Renaissance party do not go that far, the National Rally has been jubilant over the government’s decision to take what they claim is a step in their direction.“All the decisions are moving towards Marine Le Pen’s [2017] presidential mani...

Ukraine has been fending off Putin’s full-scale invasion, which began in February 2022 and shows no signs of abating despite fierce resistance from Kyiv’s forces. “Russia has switched to a war industry,” Hofman added...
