Marine Le Pen's rise in 'forgotten France'

In the run-up to the French presidential election, the far-right Front National leader has courted growing numbers of voters in rural France where residents of villages and small towns have seen factories close and services disappear.

This is the unfolding of the Koudenhove-Kalergi plan conceived in the 1920s to flood Europe with nonereuropean peoples from Africa & Middle East to destroy the cohesion of the indigenous peoples of Europe and this has now become a UN sponsored plan to which UK & France are signed up. This immigration is never ending and we the indigenous inhabitants are looking on as governments of all parties make us minorities in our own homelands and doing it with the money they confiscate from us. USA is no different either; their parties have been doing the same thing since 1962 when the Democrats enacted legislation to open the floodgates. This is the work of the elite establishments described under a variety of titles including New World Order, Globalists Neocons etc., but it all amounts to a single unified organisation aiming to create a One World Government dominated by the US elite behind it. They first openly revealed themselves in the Presidential contest of 1944 when Wendell Wilkie stood on a republican ticket as a One World candidate.

I love how The Guardian actually took time to do this. It's easy to forget that politics is not black and white all the time. And hearing from these people's perspective on why they would vote for Le Pen makes you really think.

[@The_Accuser]

Yes. I just realized I have much more respect for the people who get fooled by Le Pen than Le Pen herself. As Micheal Moore famously said last October: _"This voting ballot is for a lot of people the only way for them to give the establishment the middle finger! Even if Trump won't keep any of his promises."_

[@gug1970]

And who's fault is that ? Interesting that people can haughtily criticise those voting FN (and have the slightly distaining tone of this guardian piece) but NOT criticise the Left and Right that have ignored and fucked over normal people for years. Hilarious, that these people get blamed and NOT the fuckers in power (and in traditional opposition) (because its their fault this has happened - not the impoverished and ignored voter) who'd rather care more about other countries wishes, the EU, immigrants and not saying anything remotely controversial or addressing any actual issues that voters care about for fear of standing out, rather than actually support the people they're supposed to be serving. Given how badly we've been let down by these fifth columists that masquerade as politicians I'm amazed that any one is surprised at Trump, Brexit or the possible election of Le Pen. Have they not been paying attention over the last few years ? Too busy swigging GnT's at fashionable Islington parties , happy to take the money, save a bundle on the nanny, and their loft conversions done by a "handy cheap little polish chap we know", feather their own nest. The normal folks, those horrible little oiks we unfortunately allow to vote every once in a while can go fuck themselves right ?

[@MrVpassenheim]

And still the Guardian failed to give the whole picture. No mention of how, for the most part, many of these so-called refugees are really economic migrants. Also, no mention that a significant number of these people will actively engage in terrorism. No mention of how most of these migrants will never assimilate to French society, but see the "open doors" policy as simply a very lucrative (especially where they're coming from) way of making a living without essentially doing anything. They are FAR more dependent on taxpayer provided services than citizens themselves while not providing ANYTHING toward that effort, and this pattern continues for many years after they have arrived.

Well, that's mainly because most people in Sweden view the Moderate Party as very corporatist. And considering just how neo-liberal the Social Democratic Party has become, it wouldn't surprise me if the Sweden Democrats becomes even bigger than them. Whether it be right-wing or left-wing populism, it's certainly gaining results, at least in Sweden. People are simply sick of establishment politics.

[@lizclegg7556]

I am British, and have to say I have always found the French difficult to understand, but I found this video very interesting. I am very curious to see the consequences of Le Pen coming to power: how she will proceed with the EU and how she will address economic problems in France, eg the unemployment referenced in this video.

[@BrendanRiley]

She is an absolute clown and would only bring Franc's unemployment issues and outlook into a tailspin. What she is offering is 1930s style isolationism (which allowed the Great Depression to drag on for a decade) combined with recycled failed statism. If you look at her policy of nationalizing companies and engaging in trade wars, it is completely conceivable that France could turn into the new Venezuela of Europe.

[@lizclegg7556]

That's what's so interesting. I saw one interview where she said she objected to foreign ownership of "French" companies but she seemed vague as to what she would actually do about this. Will she force transfer of foreign-owned shares to French nationals? What if the company isn't incorporated in France? Does she want to end foreign investment in France (her policies, as far as I can make them out, would appear to discourage it)? If so, does she think that will alleviate French unemployment? If she succeeds in negotiating French immigration policy and sovereignty back from the EU, what impact will that have on Brexit (this is why Britain wanted to leave)? If the EU refuses and she puts it to a referendum, if the French vote to leave, what impact on Brexit, and if the French vote to stay what will she do then? Resign? As far as I can see, her primary concern is about making France look like France looked 60 years ago (no headscarved women or whatever) and maybe that's what the majority of French voters want. But the role and job are surely bigger and more complex that, so part of me is really very curious to see her in action.

[@josephbrabander9124]

I'm American and for years I shared your feelings about the French. Until one summer when I got to know several French students who were some of the nicest people I'd ever met. I realized I'd never really understand the country unless I learned the language. So that's what I did. It makes a huge difference.

[@andysinn8655]

I live in the US and never realized how much we have in common with the French.We are facing all the same problems here that you are dealing with.The so called elite don't care about the people that are the heart of every countryWe finally have a leader who fights for us forgotten people and the rich and the media are trying so hard to destroy our last hope.

[@loustic59vda]

Yes unfortunately the problems are often the same, in despite of cultural differences. But it is not the solutions. Leaving the Union European or vote for someone like Trump, will never bring nothing. Today, we pay the consequences of economic liberalism, established by leaders like Donald Reagan or Margaret Thatcher, forty years ago, who killed all hopes for middle class. Their policies profit only the wealthiest persons. The most curious today, it is to see Donald Trump elected at the name of republican party in USA, or to hear someone like Nigel Farage another sympathizer of Margaret Thatcher, who dares to dispute the societies that their predecessors have left.

[@marksavage1108]

that is globalism for you, political reforms on a global scale to slowly force socialism onto us. the dirty greedy globalists want a 1 world government and step by tiny step are taking us all on the same ride.

How do you integrate people where there are non jobs? Comment intégrer des personnes quand il n'y a pas de travail?

[@BrendanRiley]

Actually there are hundreds of thousands of available jobs in France it's just that the French themselves AND the immigrants they bring in are either not qualified for those jobs or do not want to do them. France would do itself a lot of good if it adopted a Canadian-style system for skilled labour which allows immigrants in based on qualifications and labour market needs.

[@rollingknuckleball]

+ Brendan Riley, exactly, there may not be jobs in low skilled sectors. But there will almost never be a job shortage for high skilled labor, especially in a services based economy. Unfortunately most people just cannot fill out these jobs due to the fact that they are simply not qualified enough. If you would like to fill out these jobs using your countries own natives, than you really should be looking at improving the education system so that you don't have to give these jobs to skilled foreigners with the necessary skill sets.

My son, born in London. No chance of social housing , he doesn’t even have enough ‘points’ to get ON the housing list. Can not afford private housing . He has no future. He goes to work , pays tax and National Insurance. YOU tell ME why he doesn’t vote Labour or Tory, but is looking toward Nationalist Parties . Do YOU make him wrong ?

[@roodborstkalf9664]

That's the plan. He has no option than to move north or still better emigrate to one of the nicer parts of North-America or Oceania.

"Problem #1" Being surprised that you are jobless when your only trade is repairing medieval musical instruments...

[@boudicca4841]

So many unemployed in Europe (5 million) yet the EUSSR are importing violent illegal migrants to supposedly fill jobs? People, who in the main are illiterate in their own countries! No, we know full well its migrant replacement of indigenous peoples. I've seen with my own eyes the transformation in Marseille post, after migrants moves in and its not attractive. The French, TRUE French, have built and shaped their country and are entitled to it, no one else, unless the French agree to accept others after rigorous background checks. The French in Calais have suffered intimidation, violence, robbery from migrants and some are now being forced out of homes they've lived in 20+ years to house migrants. The stories are shocking. The French deserve better.

[@scanspeak00]

Fair and balanced report. Well done.

[@juanfigueroa230809]

Not only the French people can bring back The Real Beautiful France we all know for Centuries...

I'm a Liberal. But I think it is practical and necessary for France to have a president like Le Pen right now.
