French far right exploits catastrophic wildfires for political gain

Uncontrolled wildfires devastating France, fuelled by extreme heat and drought, are being exploited by the French far right as a political opportunity, despite the movement's long-standing opposition to environmental regulations. Far-right politicians are claiming the disaster vindicates their earlier warnings and are attempting to use it to mobilise voters. Observers have criticised the tactic as cynical.
