Wow. It looks like Macron has totally killed his party. I wonder how much of this is spurred by immigration policy and how much might be related to the farmer revolt.
That's good news. I hope that rat-bastard ends up selling pencils in the no-go parts of Paris. I have to respect LePen, and all who put their own country first above the DS tyrants. I hope she kicks out the devils and cleans house.

Thank God for patriots like LePen, Orban, and Putin. They love their countries above all else.

They need to chop sime heads off.
 
My maths ain't that great, but if he was born in 1985 he would be a little older than 28.
 
Let's see if Macron leaves office... I suspect there's going to be some machinations behind the scenes to 'fix' the vote....

Not saying their election system is rigged or anything, but we are dealing with the unelected bureaucratic deep state EU.

So expect shenanigans...
 

France avoided a far-right election win — now the radical far-left is demanding power​

  • After the left-wing's election success in France, all eyes are now on radical firebrand Jean-Luc Mélenchon who has demanded the left be given the premiership.
  • "The president has the power, the president has the duty to call on the New Popular Front to govern," Mélenchon said last night.
  • The expansionary fiscal policy of the left-wing New Popular Front has been a cause of concern for economists since Macron called the snap election last month.
After the left-wing's election success in France on Sunday, all eyes are now on radical firebrand Jean-Luc Mélenchon who has demanded the left be given the premiership and a chance to govern following its unexpected election win.

The New Popular Front (NFP) coalition — of which Mélenchon is the self-appointed figurehead — won the largest number of seats in the second round of France's snap parliamentary election. Comprising Mélenchon's far-left France Unbowed party, the Socialist Party, the French Communist Party as well as green, center-left and left-wing political groups, the NFP unexpectedly thwarted the far-right's advance is now positioning itself as the possible leader of a coalition government.

Sabotage Hits France’s Rail Lines as Olympics Begin​

PARIS—France’s rail network was the target of a major act of sabotage Friday, the day of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, officials said, bringing service on several high-speed rail lines to a halt in disruptions that are expected to last for days.

Officials said fires were set at around 4 a.m. local time at three sites around the country’s rail network in a coordinated and precisely targeted attack. The damage is disrupting service on the lines which bring traffic to Paris from the north, the southwest and east. The saboteurs cut and then burned signaling cables, requiring laborious repairs that will last for days, officials said.

One team of saboteurs targeted a line that serves southeast France but were stopped by rail authorities, officials said.

“The places were chosen specifically to have the heaviest impact,” said Jean-Pierre Farandou, president of the SNCF, France’s state rail company. “This is a sad day.”

The sabotage risks preventing thousands of people from attending the opening ceremony, which is set to start at 1:30 p.m. ET. A parade of boats carrying athletes from more than 190 nations will sail down the Seine, through the heart of Paris. French authorities were expecting more than 300,000 people for the event, in what would be the biggest attendance at an opening ceremony in Olympics history.
