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.

Pretty sure the continuation of Barnier's government has already been bad news for the French economy.
 

French government toppled in no-confidence vote brought by opposition​

  • The French government has been toppled in a vote of no confidence.
  • Prime Minister Michel Barnier is expected to resign immediately although French President Emmanuel Macron is expected to ask him to continue as a caretaker prime minister while he searches for a replacement.
  • New parliamentary elections cannot take place until next June-July, 12 months on from the last vote.
The French government has been toppled in a vote of no confidence Wednesday, plunging the euro zone’s second-largest economy into a period of deep political uncertainty.

A total of 331 lawmakers from both the leftwing New Popular Front (NFP) alliance and the far-right National Rally (RN) supported a no-confidence motion in the country’s lower house, far exceeding the 288 votes needed to pass the motion.

France’s Marine Le Pen Found Guilty of Embezzlement​

PARIS—A French court convicted Marine Le Pen of misusing European Union funds, tarnishing her decadelong effort to clean up her far-right party’s image and prepare it to govern.

The court ruled that Le Pen and other members of her party illegally used millions of euros in EU funding that was earmarked for assistants helping lawmakers in the European Parliament with their work. Instead, judges said, Le Pen and her lawmakers used the money to pay party staffers who weren’t involved in work for the parliament.

Globalists don't care about the security of European countries. In fact, riots and mass unvetted immigration is a feature that helps them to retain power.
 
The French tried that during the Olympics, turds floating down the river...
 
So France is imploding right now.


France in fresh political crisis after MPs oust prime minister

Nuclear, Data Centers, and Renewables: All Political Headaches of the New French PM Lecornu​

Political turmoil in France is having important repercussions on the role the country has as an energy anchor of the EU and the possibility of Paris to stick with promises of a Nuclear Renaissance fuelling AI and Data Centres, and continuous support for renewables in the energy system.

Already On the Brink​

Sébastien Lecornu, nominated twice as the Minister of Defence of France over the last few years, is the new Prime Minister of one of the weakest governments the country has ever seen in the Post-War era.

A hard-Macronist with a Republican past, a Gaullist in the French tradition of strong and independent state-centric views of politics, PM Lecornu is already facing a political test with the largest strikes in the country since 2023 taking place in major cities around France, from Paris to Marseille, Lyon and Nantes.

A total of 250 marches have been planned for Thursday, September 18, by the CFDT trade union and affiliates. Organisers said one million people turned out on French streets, disrupting transport around the country to protest against the defunct Bayrou’s budget proposal intended to cut €44 billion in public spending.

The same budget proposal led to the fall of the second government nominated by President Macron since last year’s elections which ended up in a hung parliament, almost perfectly split between left-wing, right-wing, and centrist parties affiliated with the Elysee.

So France is still a mess - possibly even worse now than it was a month ago.
 
Great comedy actually, now no one can be held responsible for bad decisions.

They should just be grateful that their country isn't a tourist destination or anything like that.

Because, if they were, they would have to clean up and the crime, filth, and trash the muslim invaders have brought them.

I'm not quite sure you can call them "invaders". France has a long history of foreign colonialism. Much of it in north ans west Africa, Asia, Madagascar, and North America. In fact right before WW1, the war to end all Empires, France's Empire was second only to the British one and neither had planned to lose anything.

France had big economic interests in Algeria, Morocco, Libya, and everywhere else they could plant their flag to get others to fight for them. Libya had/has the highest grade crude in the world which is why the Euro's got Buckwheat to bomb the snot out of Qaddafi's air defense network giving them carte blanche to get him pulled apart like chicken. And all those 112 Tomahawks cost them was a Nobel peace price. Pretty ironic eh ? Anyway Obama destabilized all of North Africa for the Euro's for "Freedom for Libyan's" ? Hahahahahahaha, yeah, I know. He went on to bomb more countries then any US President and got away with it because he was sorta black.

But thru all the decades of being exploited and robbed these French A-rabs were given dual citizenship so it could be argued they are as French as the French. Nice going France. Enjoy.
 
France, Italy, England, Germany and Belgium deserve what they get....all of the colonizers do really. The hell they inflicted is coming back to them.
