So-called moderate French President Macron went to bed with the Communists to stay in power, and after Today’s second set of “snap” elections, he appears to have succeeded.
In a disappointing result, Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (RN), which won the first round of voting last week, was relegated to third place, with between 132 to 152 seats. Finally, the centre-right Les Républicains are projected to have won between 57 to 67 seats, Le Figaro reports.
The results confirm the ability of the French establishment to use the antiquated parliamentary system created in the 1950s to limit the power of outsiders amid deep political strife verging on civil war.
While the populist right-wing party would have become the largest party if last week’s results were final, the second round of voting gave the government and political establishment the ability to rally their supporters, sparking the highest turnout in decades to thwart the Le Pen party. Macron’s faction reportedly made deals in some 200 constituencies with the far-left to undermine the populist party’s ability to gain a majority.
Interestingly, Macron and his allies justified an open alliance with the socialists to avoid a civil war if Le Pen and the “right” were to win.
The hyperbolic rhetoric from the government was continued by Macron’s deputy, Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, who said this week: “I think a majority dominated by the extreme right and the RN would be dangerous”.
“There would be a lot of violence in society if the RN program were to be implemented… It would also be a disaster for our economy”, he added.
And, as usual, it is not the right (which in France isn’t all that “right”) but the actLeftLeft that is always ready to engage in violence.
However, despite the warnings from Macron’s globalists about the so-called “far-right” — a term which Le Pen rejects given her largely left-wing economic platform — it has been Macron’s now far-left partners who have been behind major violent uprisings over the past year, including riots last week following the National Rally’s victory in the first round of voting.
Indeed, even before the initial results were announced, shop owners along the Champs-Élysées began to barricade their storefronts in the expectation of further leftist riots in the capital. A total of 30,000 police officers, including 5,000 in Paris, have been mobilised in preparation for potential leftist violence on Sunday evening.
We’d say France has fallen, but that would be old news. Macron already has France on a path to self-destruction. Lying down with the Leftleft will only accelerate the decline. But it shows you what global elites will do to cling to power. Anything.
