Emmanuel Macron dissolves French parliament and calls snap elections

Looking at some of the "how to destroy your economy and make everyone poor" proposals from the NPF

• Price controls
• 90% tax on 400k plus
• Lowering retirement age to 60

Glad they kept the far right out, but the far left really do live in some sort of magical alternative reality

And there is more to unpopularity than numbers. There is also the depth of unpopularity wherein we can truly despise a party that has its roots in JMLePen for whom the concentration camps in the last world war were a "detail in history" ,where their candidates are recently seen sporting Nazi hats and ,in all likelihood (a long time since I was in France) odious racist attitudes lurk beneath the surface or perhaps above the surface.

Not quite what the article says is it?

While Moshe Sebbag certainly did not welcome the New Popular Front victories, he ultimately lamented about the mainstreaming of antisemitism in general.

Strange, earlier on the thread, you were supporting RN and here you claim to be concerned about anti-semitism. So I guess you are switching your support to Macron now?

And yet, one of the people interviewed in an article you referenced says:

In an interview in Paris, the writer and philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy said: “All the Jews I know agree they will of course never vote for France Unbowed, and they will never vote for Marine Le Pen.”

When it came to RN, he said: “There is absolutely no evidence of a deep change on the matter of antisemitism.”

RN, originally named Front National, was co-founded by Le Pen’s father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, who is well known for his antisemitic remarks. He has been convicted several times of contesting crimes against humanity, including for his claims that the gas chambers used to kill Jews during the Holocaust were only a “detail” of history… Even after its rebranding, RN has continued to face repeated scandals, including election candidates making allegedly antisemitic remarks.

Being raised by a holocaust denier does not make their offspring one also, it is not some sort of hereditary thing passed down through generations you know.

The main concern for the French people now is the eagerness of the radical left fanatics to increase uncontrolled immigration into France nevermind reduce it. Macron also joining up with them must horrify the vast majority of French citizens into their futures and serious questions need asking why are doing so against the will of the vast majority of the public.

The vast majority of people throughout Europe are asking the very same questions of their leaders and voices are going to get louder and louder.

I mean if you take over the party run by an anti semite it is going to be pretty tough to make your case.

Not just anti semitism they have plenty of candidates that are racist including stating that Northern Africans should not hold high office. They did force the nazi cap candidate to step down but as long as these incidents keep happening in large numbers with candidates they have little chance of removing the racist tag.

Of course the far right will always have the issue that they will attract racists and not many racists are smart enough to keep the quiet part quiet

Macron's letter is an invitation to the moderate left to dump the far left and join him. The problem is that he's is in the position of the boy who cried wolf, because he promised during previous second round campaigns (particularly during the 2022 legislatives) that if the left supported his candidates so as to block Marine Le Pen, he would listen to their concerns and run a more left wing government. Once elected of course, he did nothing of the sort.

His advantage of course is that the left wing coalition is a shaky structure which presumably won't last long as it is anyway, so there will be a temptation for some if the posts offered are big enough.

My guess - and that's all it is - is that it is too soon for the left's coalition to break up, but it will happen sooner or later.

Is there anything more likely to crash and burn quicker than a far left coalition . In fact, it wont even get past the first meeting. In France or any other country for that matter .

Looks like the radical left are calling for protests and talk of action ahead of the Olympics which start in 2 weeks. One thing for certain is a lack of torches won't be complained about.

Oh I am going to need evidence that all those churches were destroyed. Otherwise I am going to assume you are posting random nonsense from a very nonsense looking account.

Edit: turns out the map is a lie and isn't even particularly recent. Your post is just nonsense. If there is a serious issue it can be detailed without counting "man interrupts mass" as a destroyed church. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/churches-destroyed-in-france/

Probably not destroyed but a serious problem of attacks even 3 years ago, now it is worse.

If people make stuff up to claim something is a serious problem then they will have no credibility.

Stuff like the map is an obvious red flag. That is a crazy number for actually destroyed churches and would have made headlines. That should send red flags about the information that it should be verified.

Maybe check who you are trusting for your information even if they agree with your preconceptions.

He had no credibility left (at least to anyone who has read output for the last few years).

To give just one tiny example, which fits with your comment on antisemitism…he's apparently a Le Pen supporter, very concerned about muslim immigration to Europe and rising hatred towards Jews in France on here; but…posts vile anti semitic conspiracy theories and praises attacks of + boosts propaganda of Islamic fundamentalist terrorists (Houthis) over there (different threads!).🤡

So you linked to a tweet that amounted to a lie. Then an article that explicitly said there was numerous reasons for the decline. Instead you tried to lob it all on Muslims which in reality is not the case. The article you linked to actually points to the state neglecting the buildings and the issue of them falling apart was warned as far back as the seventies. You've googled it but still struggled to back up the rather xenophobic agenda that you're pushing.
