As attacks mount around the election, one presidential front runner said France is seeing “a climate near civil war”.

Journalists accused of bias. Judges said to be taking orders from the president. The country in a state of “near civil war.”

This isn’t America’s bitter presidential election campaign last year, but France’s in 2017.

The latest comments from conservative François Fillon, who has accused the Socialist government of failing to protect candidates, underline the increasingly ugly tone of France’s campaign.

I guess that's why the French came up with the phrase "Deja Vu".

Only a civil war will reverse the damage done by the power grips of their uncompromising liberalism.

France ,... and most of Europe is Ruined.

Never again will anyone consider a summer vacation
destination anywhere in Europe.

Enjoy your invasion of immigrants, and your Failure
to protect your country, and it’s citizens.

Unfortunately, it is a war, between the people of YHVH and the people who worship the ruler of this world and his governments.

Vote in Madam LePen now or face a Napoleon in the future. The choice is up to the French Voters.

I’m not as sure as you.

France has defended French culture ferociously in the recent past. They have a history of nationalism. If another de Gaulle takes power there the EU is history & muslims will be legislated into obscurity (veils outlawed, calls to prayer prohibited, etc.), much as the Catholic Church has been marginalized there.

Personally, I like nationalism. I like the idea of numerous unique countries & cultures, dedicated to making their homeland a better, stronger place. This makes the world a more interesting place to live.
