The National Front party of Jean-Mare le Pen, his daughter,mand niece are called “extreme far right” by the media, but there is nothing conservative about them.
They are, as their name implies, National Socialists, with strong connections to the nei-Nazi movements all over Europe.
Yes, they hate immigrants, all immigrants, are extremely xenophobic,and hate the USA. They do not challenge the socialist welfare state, just want it only for the French. They don’t believe in free speech, the right of citizens to bear arms. They don’t walk the walk..... MLP lives with a man to whom she is not married, has been divorced twice~ in short, she does not support families and family values.
Add to that their overt anti-semitism and Anti-Israel sentiments, they are not what many here think they are.
They have no answer to France’s economic and social problems.
Jean-Marie was kicked out of the party, it’s no longer his party.
Neofascism is not conservatism.
The National Front is rigorously statist - Jean-Marie Le Pen was a Vichyist.
Globally all of France
FN 27
UMP LR 27
PS 24
There will be a second round everywhere. FN didn’t get 50% in any region.
Sarko speaking now about 49% abstention rate. Calling on all to vote in round 2. All that want alternance and real change. Refuses any accommodation... refusing all fusion with anti democratic, anti republican candidates. Asking people to
Vote for candidates of les Republicains (former UMP).
The socialists lost everything everywhere. Took an historic shellacking.
Marine now railing and name calling . She personally got only 49.3% in her region. She, too, will have a runoff.
Currently, there is only one thing that matters: ceasing immigration of Islamics, and ultimately getting Islamics out of France.
If she does only that one thing, France may survive. If whoever runs France instead of her fails to do that one thing, then France will fall, REGARDLESS of any positive qualities the alternate may have.
