[@Khoukharev]

My understanding is that Marin Le Pen’s party is very similar to what De Gaul argued for.

[@canicheenrage]

The Rassemblement National was co founded by her father and former waffen SS members. Its original name, Front National, was taken from a WW2 communist resistance movement, as most far right movements start: pretending to have a social goal, ie taking votes from the left, while going on a nationalist angle, while the left switched to internationalism after WW1. Now after the USSR crimes were revealed, and it collapsed, not many votes to steal, so, new name. Sidenote, militants of the party were known for violence against people in general, especially political opponents or of foreign origin, going to the murder of a kid. Shot in the back, while he was running to get his bus with friends. Her father got his fortune by dispossessing credulous patriotic inheritors and elderly couples of all their belongings in service of the "cause". She entered politics in the party, as did her niece. If the cult of personnality and nepotism isn't as advanced as with Trump, it's still very much present. So, for commenters who have absolutely zero idea of what they're talking about, yes, it's a far right party that rebranded itself, and since the political spectrum otherwise is rather awful, more and more people want to give it a chance. That's as awful an idea as reelecting Trump or the Milei election in Argentina. Oh, and one last thing: The RN is a nationalist party...Funded by a foreign power. Russia. The violent, mafious, kleptocracy, currently invading Ukraine. A scam party at many levels.

Am a great admirer of Amanpour, since the 2nd Iraq war when she was in the streets of Baghdad, while all the other journalists ("the boys") were 'embedded' in the US Army riding tanks far away from the front lines or where hunkered down in the 'green zone'. Imagine: in Iraq at war, interviewing people in the streets of Baghdad, when shelling was obliterating city blocks, where people where blowing themselves up in the streets to take out a dozen people, and on top of that a woman(!)... But she blew it on this interview. Most European far right parties' policies are actually left of American centrist-left & right/far-right parties (economy, social, state's roles, against laissez-faire capitalism, etc), but more aligned w the American far right wrt immigration policies. Amanpour conflated both in her questions & attitude, whereas MLP clearly answered from a liberal policies standpoint.

Much like with Republicans etc. Turn on your heels once and forget what such people just recently said and did. How people can act liek that is beyond me.

[@dunecarin]

​@@vivastrango8980 I don't think either should react hastily and rash - but let the system do what the system has to do. This in both cases! I do not doubt the party-members typically do not do this in regards to crime commited by anyone they deem to be "foreign". There is a tendency to this in every country... but it will mature... and the arguments will become better and more reasonable. I am not just saying it - I have seen it - we have this party i Denmark aswell - they gained a huge popularity quickly and rose to achieve 20% of the votes in 2015 i Denmark. This is a lot in a multipartysystem. They nearly became the largest party. Instead of allying around them to avoid this party gaining influence, this is not the tradition in Denmark, so there was pragmatic work with and around them - and they were (and are) part of larger political negotiations and settlements... and the party has matured over the years... and so have the other parties... There is still racism - probably maybe a problem no country will ever truely get rid of - it seems a bit like that. But not at all the same blunt and degrading kind... and the debates on a societal level have matured. The politicians who were before either "pro-multicultural" or "pro-nationalism" are now nuanced, and have sober and relevant debates on which may be the better choice in different cases and contexts. Also - they actually disagree on a more foundational political level - rather than the "pro et contra" level... But these changes do - and did in Denmark - take some time - because they are very difficult conversations in a society - and when you tell someone they are a fascist their arguments do not become better or more elaborate... I would reccommend that France listen to these... well - what seems to be almost 30% of the voters... and take them into daily consideration and accommodate some of their concerns... because it makes in the long term for at better society ... if all citizens have their concerns heard - rather than be told they are evil a vicious and dangerous for democracy... and even that they are akin to nazis. Which they are not, not in any way. Not the 30% - a few perhaps... but i it unlikely it is that many. Most of them are scared - and tired ... and tired of non-secular religious people making them feel unsafe... They are concerned about what they see as EU-activism - making demands on the French and so on... This was all the same in Denmark i 2015... we also had the terrorattack on the synagogue and this hardened the rethoric - and probably for understable and maybe even good reasons. As you know we are the country of both the muhammed-drawings, and also of the dude who felt compelled to burn qorans in his demonstrations... So we have certainly in Denmark had our share of challenges related to the multicultural approach... and it is something we are working through. But France needs to let these shares of its population also be not only heard but also accommodated and brougt into the political designing and structuring of the future. Because it simply is the democratic way. And because this is how you will se them eventually become mature and be held to account by their voters... This has happened in Denmark, and the debates are now relevant and nuanced, and very very important. But we probably had to go through a period of learning how to voice concerns over multiculturalism, how to descibe what is valuable about enlightenment, about secularism, about our own culture and traditions - and about why it is fair that we want a lot of those upheld. I am sure - that if you let it - and trust your strong institutions, and your constitution - then France and other countries in Europe too will find better ways to debate the current and reelvant cultural issues at stake in our societies in an estremely globalized and regionalized world. It is a period - the party needs accountability - it will only get this by being part of the active legislature - rather than only being in opposition.

It became so incredibly obvious watching a US-journalist interview a European politician. I am thankfull that we are not yet used to this kind of flatulence in Europe - I hope we keep this low level of clownery away from our shores... US is known for cow-boyery and famed for it. Rightly so - you have muscled and willed yourselves great and should rightly take great pride in that. Now it may be time you took some pride in more than that. In enlightment, in nuance, in debate, in coherent and consistence arguments of substance. I hope US-citizens are more wise and more intelligent than their media lead us to believe!

[@BigPictureYT]

@@dunecarin In my opinion, the US has polarized into two camps. One side views life as a power struggle between groups of victims and groups of oppressors. The other side has the Enlightenment view that each individual is responsible for the choices they make and the consequences of those choices. The Woke want to overthrow tradition. Since they view themselves as victims, the world has to change before their lives can improve. The traditional patriots appreciate the sacrifices made by previous generations, realize that time tested values work, and just want to enjoy the freedom, prosperity, and opportunities we have. Many life-long Democrats are being cancelled and vilified by the Woke for believing in free speech and preferring observational science over social constructs. The Woke have captured all of the institutions, from the universities to the Pentagon. The 2024 election will be won by whoever harvests the most ballots. Expect an Orwellian outcome.

@@BigPictureYT I do recognize the picture your strokes a painting - and do not disagree... And wokes are on both sides by the way... along the political spectrum (not necessarily claiming we have one - but for this point it makes sense). In Denmark we have a lot of identity politics on the "right" aswell... not simply patriotism or nationalism, but really weird shit... just like on the left... We certainly seem to be entereing even more Orwellian outcomes... but we have to believe there is still hope for humanity and that they can actually overcome this phase... the tide is definately turning severely in my own country... slowly but definately. Politicians are talking substance... they have arguments, and unfold these rather than shift blame... interesting times... in many ways...

@@dunecarin We humans evolved as tribal animals. Even if outsiders seemed friendly, they could infect us with fatal diseases, and sometimes did. So each tribe developed easy ways to recognize other members of their tribe; for example, the folk costumes of various European regions, the ways that teenagers conform in dress style, and the blue hair and nose rings of the Woke Feminists. So I am not surprised to read that some people on the right see themselves as victims. For myself, being a victim means waiting for the world to change.

That's sad and lead to even more misinformation than in the US...

@@Scidzcopter LFI is arguably not far-left. But it's an other debate :D

I find it difficult to see this interview as a journalistic piece; it feels more like an interrogation."

[@Dreyno]

If you hold extreme views, you get tough questions. And as much as she tries to come across as reasonable, her party was founded by literal fascists. And the people of France have rejected them yet again.

Amanpour missed the opportunity to lead an interesting conversation.

European American living in Europe. I love and am proud of our rich cultural heritage! Let’s celebrate, preserve, cherish, and protect it!

[@Gamla123]

The more I listen to Amanpour, the more I detest her. Let's see her talk to the leaders of Iran or Hamas this way.

[@samuelrigaud6595]

⚠️ she's confortable with western leaders who protect human rights

[@janelast5177]

Exactly! She would no doubt grovel

[@fselva5222]

I feel the opposite…. And she’s very very attractive… 😀love her❤️

[@traviswebb3532]

She has and asked tough questions like this one. Maybe look things up before coming on here and posting dumb comments.

[@Dreyno]

Anyone that dares be interviewed by her is held to the same standards. You detest her because she’s exposing the people you support. You should consider that.

[@jonathanthomas4722]

Le Pen should never do interviews with CNN.

[@dionysusbacchus4321]

I think she actually lowered herself more than if she wore burka, seriously.

[@Guillermo12339]

Actually, LePen, Nationsl Rally[in a its incarnatins Should NEVER Be Heard From Any Time ANYWHERE.

[@AdamBetweentheLines]

Just watch any of her interviews with any of the Hungarians - she is very beatable actually if challenged with facts and similar energy to her own. I don’t think Le Pen particularly lost this segment either.

[@evawilliam2265]

Why ?

None of you are french. So mind your own dam business
