  2. So been for the sovereignty of France, free from grape of irresponsible migration, and protecting French culture is Far-right? What a joke. French is been run by Brussels and American NGOs.

  3. No way Europe can't be done ! There are forces that are pushing against it like the French center right and others, who think of French sovereignty, when they should be thinking of European sovereignty!! Why American is great and powerful because it is a single whole!! CALIFORNIA doesn't think about California sovereignty !! Europe could be even bigger and more powerful if it were all one !! But go to tell it these limited people from the center right who still think about the small backyard!!

  9. The Neo-Vichyists are coming back. Also, really funny how supporters and those in the comments really don't want be to called Far Right. Curious 😂

  11. One thing is sure those who had voted for liberals are becoming conservative supporters only after realizing with their own eyes that how stupid was them. Imagine still thousands of people are living in their own world self talking to themselves as 'I am the smart person as I support liberal leftist ideology '

  17. 'The End of Europe: Dictators, Demagogues, and the Coming Dark Age' by James Kirchick 2017. Far-right is trying to save Europe.

  18. Having a pension plan where people go into full retirement at age 50, 55 is unsustainable. You either have MORE workers paying taxes or cut benefits!!! LOL

  20. Whatever one might think of this move to the right, this is at least partly the result of decades during which politicians and other "elites" have chosen to ignore and deny the uncontrolled immigration issue and its consequences. But immigration is not the only issue; regardless of solutions offered by rightist parties, their strength is that they're the only ones to clearly identify and name the concerns of many people in Europe, no doublespeaking. In other words French and other European peoples simply want to be heard and wake up those "higher up" who've been sleeping on a different planet for too long.

  23. Racism is on the rise…if you read history….this comes and goes as if it never existed….always existed and comes out and goes away
