I'm not familiar with the reasons of the outcome in France, but this whole election has been dictated by far-right, racist and highly partisan reasons in my country. When you wonder why you got a result from a huge number of people you need to analyse the data, and analysts are noticing that ...
"The League of Matteo Salvini gets a resounding 30.75% of preferences in Riace , the municipality of the Reggio area guided until a few months ago by Domenico Lucano and known throughout the world for the model of reception and integration of migrants that was practiced there."
"Even in the island of Lampedusa , at the center of the migration phenomenon, the League wins. Matteo Salvini's party gets 45.85%, more than twice the Democratic Party that launches Pietro Bartolo, the migrant doctor, among the candidates in Strasbourg."

There are 12 points of distance between the 1st party (extreme right) and the 2nd (pro immigration).
The territorial distribution of votes in favor of the extreme right is aligned with the cases of uncontrolled and non-regular immigration, cases that the population lives in the area and which have little interaction with the (old/new)media.
