The Resurgence of Marine Le Pen and the Complex Landscape of French Politics

Marine Le Pen delivered an impressive performance, skillfully avoiding the traps set by Christiane Amanpour, a prominent member of the establishment media. This type of media, exemplified by CNN, was accurately criticized by Trump as "fake news." Unfortunately, our current leaders often hide behind political correctness rather than speaking their minds like Trump.

There is a growing trend of labeling opponents with terms like "extreme right" and "anti-Semitic." This tactic has backfired, particularly in light of the situation in Gaza, which has eroded global respect and admiration for Israel. The term "anti-Semite" has lost its impact, as it is often used to deflect criticism of Israel and its actions in Gaza.

In France, Marine Le Pen faces a crucial election that could signal a significant shift in French history, surprising many who never expected Le Pen to have a viable chance of winning. Those opposed to Le Pen should look to Macron and his policies, which resemble a "fascist" state more than Le Pen's. France is indeed a complex country; when Mitterrand won in 1981, many feared it would turn socialist or communist. However, his policies turned out to be more right-leaning than those of his predecessor, Giscard d'Estaing, who led a left-leaning government with a right-wing facade.
