And so, you have Le Pen’s Big Win.
From the Telegraph:
France’s anti-immigrant Front National was on track to win at least 14 towns in local elections, exit polls showed on Sunday, beating its previous record amid public dissatisfaction with President Francois Hollande’s Socialists.
But the Socialists retained control of Paris town hall in local elections on Sunday as their candidate Anne Hidalgo comfortably won the mayoralty.
Promising to be the mayor of “all Parisians,” Miss Hidalgo hailed her historic win as the “victory for a Left-wing that remains faithful to its ideal.”
Miss Hidalgo said: “As the first woman mayor of Paris, I am aware of the challenge that this represents.”
The victory is some consolation for Mr Hollande’s ruling party, which according to partial tallies and exit polls was on track to lose its grip on dozens of major towns elsewhere across France.
After winning the northern town of Henin-Beaumont in round one, the FN took at least 13 more towns, including Béziers in the southwest and Fréjus, population 84,000, on the Riviera.
Its best ever previous score was just three, in 1995.
The Front National scored a major victory by claiming the ma
yorship of the 7th sector of Marseille, putting it in charge of 150,000 people.
“We have moved onto a new level,” Marine Le Pen, FN leader, claimed. “There is now a third major political force in our country.”
I understand that it is a problem that FN has cut its Antisemitic rhetoric, and in fact moved the other way, attempting to clumsily embrace the Jews. That is definitely a serious problem. However, what these results show is that the people now care about what is happening to their country, and that is a very good thing.
