Big nationalist surge across Europe - including France - big blows to the globalist elite, as the local people take back power. This is just the beginning:

French Election Opens Up as Marine Le Pen Surges​

President Emmanuel Macron’s belated entry into the campaign and his focus on Ukraine have left him vulnerable to a strong challenge from the right.

PARIS — At last, Emmanuel Macron stepped forth. The French president entered a vast arena this weekend, plunged into darkness and lit only by spotlights and glow sticks, before a crowd of 30,000 supporters in a domed stadium in the Paris suburbs.

It was a highly choreographed appearance — his first campaign rally for an election now less than a week away — with something of the air of a rock concert. But Mr. Macron had come to sound an alarm.

Do not think “it’s all decided, that it’s all going to go well,” he told the crowd, a belated acknowledgment that a presidential election that had seemed almost certain to return him to power is suddenly wide open.
 
Oh, no. Someone the Left doesn't like, so democracy must be dying in France.
 
You go Nazi Lady!
 
100 different ways to rightly criticize her and you go with Godwining. Lame.
Well, most people outside of France don't know anything about her other than the thin, propaganda headlines of "far right Marine Le Pen threatening Democracy!" or words to that effect.

6 points is still a significant lead to make up in just 20 days
 
She probably will not win.

But she may come close.

A lot of French people are concerned about the impact of immigration on their nation.

I remember reading that General de Gaulle expressed fears for his beloved nation if too many people from Algeria decided to move to France. He even feared that his hometown might lose its French name!

In the US, expressing such a concern is considered very racist. Apparently, the only cultures that are allowed to have a culture are non-European and non-North American, which are all improperly "white" while any "black or brown" culture is to be fostered and is absolutely rightfully spread to other areas of the globe.

Because it is. It’s also very stupid to boot.

Globalism is baed on lies and deception.

Nationalism is based on self interest and is, therefore and obviously, honest and open.

Globalism demands that swindlers pretend to do the altruistic while stealing from their swindled victims.

LOL. It's not racist to want to preserve one's own culture. What is racist is the constant refrain from the Left that white people don't have cultures. That's decidedly racist.

Claiming that “preserving one’s culture” means keeping non-white people out is pretty ****ing racist bud.

No one outside of insane people have said that. Right wingers like to paint with some broad brushes though

That isn't true. It's leading Leftist thought. I'm glad you think it's an insane idea, but it's what Leftist academia is selling.

Of course, nobody said that. They just said that allowing too many people in with a different culture, regardless of color, would threaten the culture. It's not like you can add 10 million Chinese or Siberian or Australian people to France and expect the culture not to change. That's not saying their color is the issue. Their culture is the issue.

The US took in vast numbers of refugees from dozens of different cultures across numerous different time periods, and despite all the fearmongering our “culture” has remained just fine.
 
"A vocal opponent of the United States and NATO, she has pledged to remove France from their spheres of influence.[14] She was a supporter of Russian president Vladimir Putin and had closer cooperation with Russia before the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.[15]"

If she wins she should get her own comedy network because I expect loads of laughs. But seriously folks, what's going to happen in France and elsewhere when inflation rages and immigrants shoulder the blame for a poor economy? Someone has to take a beating.
