François Fillon, frontrunner to become Frances next president, has sparked unease in Germany with his friendly attitude toward Russia, but signs that he would beat Marine Le Pen are being welcomed.
Fillon secured the nomination of the French conservative Republicans on Sunday with a resounding victory over his more moderate challenger Alain Juppe.
Opinion polls currently predict that he would handily beat far-right National Front leader Marine Le Pen in the knock-out finals of next Mays presidential elections.
That in itself is cause for relief in Germany, Frances traditional core EU partner, which has been rattled by the US election of Donald Trump, the Brexit vote and the rise of right-wing populism in Europe.

The precedence has been established. I think Germany needs an HMFIC from, say Australia. Aussies are cool.
murkul is not Germany. Her opinion is useless.
The present EU construct is Germany’s 4th Reich
Germany has forced Greece and the PIIGS into debt, and then into debt servitude. It has pushed through acceptance of the EU, it has forced a ridiculous social-engineering immigration policy on Europe.
And these people are our allies?
Obama’s allies.
Just like Hillary was supposed to handily beat Trump? More wishful thinking by the globalists. This time in europe.
Ithink the Krauts just handed this to Marine. Remember 1940!
On the other hand, the Germans were quite happy with Petain.
Germans got a bad habit of sticking their nose where it don’t belong.
When revisionist history is the norm...take note America...Germany's Socialists are blind to their past.........
Merkel wants Marshall Pétain to win.
Strike 2 - Americans will never vote Trump to be their President.
Strike 3 - The French will never vote Le Pen to be their President.
The Globalist Elites never learn that they have no idea what the people in any country think.
France isn’t your little bitch anymore, Germany.
Remember 1982!
VIVA LA PEN
That would be the fourth time. They won the Franco-Prussian war in 1870.
Le Pen it is then.
Fillon had quite smashing victory in Les Republicains primary beating Juppe 61-39.
