[the_ad id=”90513″]

The first round of the 2017 French presidential election was held on 23 April 2017. As no candidate won a majority, a run-off election between the top two candidates Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen will be held on 7 May 2017.

I am sorry to see Fillon miss his shot.

French Presidential Favorite Macron: Terrorism ‘Part of Our Daily Lives for Years to Come’ After Paris Shooting

Emmanuel Macron is a former banker (Banque Rothschild) who served as François Hollande’s Minister of the Economy.

“The callow 38 year-old Emmanuel Macron, generally assumed to make it past the first round (April 23) to confront and defeat Marine Le Pen in the second round (May 7), is running on a vacuous Somewhat Right Somewhat Left platform. How did the fabulously unpopular François Hollande manage to place his alter ego in pole position while standing aside in studied absence as the cream of the Socialist party boards Macron’s cruise ship? ID: En Marche”

“His government will invest in ecology and all that’s renewable, offer culture to the rich & poor, recycle the jobless with modern skills, solve conflict with love not hate, welcome immigration with hospitality not rejection of the Other. Cut & paste plagiarizer, Macron takes bits & pieces of Fillon’s security measures…and then claims his rival doesn’t have a program.

(Nidra Poller)

(CNN) France’s far-right leader Marine Le Pen will face a relative novice, the independent centrist Emmanuel Macron, in the final round of the country’s presidential election, early projections suggest.

According to estimates from CNN affiliate BFMTV and polling company Elabe, newcomer Macron secured 24% of the vote, with National Front leader Le Pen close behind on 21.8%.
The result, if confirmed, is a comprehensive rejection of traditional French politics. Neither candidate hails from the establishment parties that have dominated France for decades.
BFMTV and Elabe suggest scandal-hit conservative François Fillon and far-left wildcard Jean-Luc Mélenchon won 19.9% and 19.3% of the vote respectively, and have been knocked out of the closely-fought race.
Speaking to supporters in Henin-Beaumont, anti-immigration, anti-European Union candidate Le Pen hailed the result: “It is time to free French people from arrogant elites … I am the people’s candidate.”
“The French people must seize this opportunity, because the enormous challenge of this election is the wild globalization that puts our civilization at risk,” Le Pen said.
“Either we continue to disintegrate without any borders, without any controls, unfair international competition, mass immigration and the free circulation of terrorists, or you choose France with borders,” she added.

French presidential candidate for the En Marche! movement Emmanuel Macron shakes hands with supporters after casting his vote in Le Touquet.

A huge cheer went up at Macron’s campaign headquarters as news of the results came through. “France’s political map is tonight redrawn,” said CNN’s Melissa Bell, who was at the scene.
“It’s a political earthquake in this country and in Europe,” veteran journalist Christine Ockrent told CNN. “Macron’s is a remarkable achievement, because he represents optimism.”
Sunday’s first round contest was held under tight security after a terror attack in Paris Thursday night disrupted the final day of campaigning Friday.
By 5 p.m. local time (11 a.m. ET) 69.42% of France’s 47 million registered voters had cast their ballots, according to the Interior Ministry — a marginally lower turnout than at the same point in 2012.
With 11 names on the ballot, no one candidate had been expected to win an outright majority; instead the top two candidates will face a second and final ballot on May 7.

Who is Marine Le Pen?

The incumbent President, socialist François Hollande, whose approval ratings have remained in the doldrums for several years, made the unusual decision not to run for a second term.
As the results became clear, French politicians and several of the defeated candidates appeared to throw their support behind Macron — or to speak out against Le Pen.
Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve tweeted an appeal to all voters to back Macron in the second round, “to combat the National Front’s disastrous project to take France backwards and to divide the French people.”
The Socialist Party’s candidate, Benoît Hamon secured just 6.3% of the vote, according to BFMTV-Elabe estimates.
Speaking at his campaign headquarters, Hamon said he took full responsibility for the poor result, and urged his supporters to vote for Macron to defeat Le Pen in the second round, “even if he is not left-wing.”
Fillon, the mainstream Republican candidate, was an early favorite for the presidency, but his campaign stumbled because of a scandal over claims he paid his wife and children for work they did not do. He denies any wrongdoing.
He told his supporters, “we have to choose what is preferable for our country, and I am not going to rejoice. Abstention is not in my genes, especially when an extremist party is close to power.”
“The party created by Jean-Marie Le Pen has a history known for its violence and intolerance,” Fillon said. “Its economic and social program will lead our country to failure … I promise you, extremism can only bring unhappiness and division to France.”
Independent centrist Macron, 39, a former banker, has never held elected office, though he served as economy minister under Prime Minister Manuel Valls.
But he attracted support from left and right with promises to boost the economy and improve security. His party, “En Marche!” which was only created in September, now has more than 200,000 members and his meetings have attracted vast crowds.
Far-right National Front leader Le Pen, 48, is best known for her anti-immigration rhetoric; she told supporters her first move as president would be to impose a temporary ban on legal immigration to France. She has also vowed to take France out of the EU.
Far-left firebrand Mélenchon has so far refused to concede defeat, insisting it is too early to accept the results.
“We do not recognize the score announced on the basis of opinion polls,” he wrote on Facebook. “The results of the larger towns and cities are not yet known,” he added, calling for “restraint” and urging commentators to “be cautious.”
Mélenchon‘s popularity surged in the final weeks of the race, following impressive performances in the candidates’ television debates.

Solve the jihadi problem with “love not hate.” What a dumbass. Re: Le Pen, she is no farther to the right than middle-of-the-roader Bill O’Reilly. France is so insanely far to the Left that Le Pen seems “far right” to the liberal ass clowns.

Hi Jerry. I thought he had some good ideas about how to defeat ISIS. Of course no one was going to listen to his ideas but he had some. Anyway at least he’d call it what it was. Islamic terrorism unlike the clueless morons on CNN or MSNBC who constantly cover for Muslims and Islam.

It’s difficult to take advise on how to defeat an enemy from a guy who doesn’t have the slightest idea about that enemy, and their ideology. He constantly put down the real anti-Jihadist freedom fighters in the west, who actually knew intimately this ideology.

france is a total write off, it will be the gnawed bones of a nation when scavengers of islam are ensconced in it, which will happen with any government. All a decent person can do, if they are in france, is leave while they still can.

The same moronic Mandy Patinkin who told Stephen Colbert that he is NOT afraid of terrorism?

People running over children with Trucks, and Mandy Patinkin thinks Trump and Le Penne are the sick ones.

LIBERAL = LACK OF COMMON SENSE!

Interesting to learn he was a banker for the Rothschilds, that he is a Catholic
Jesuit. People should learn that Jesuits formed as a Catholic military order to protect the Catholic faith. We forget about the what happened to the Cathars

People should stay away from wealth that puts people into office. Sort of reminds me of George Sorros who went out to destroy​ Trump, but on a different playing field, different faces

People should learn bankers helped to take us to wars, and support others for their goals including countries

Learn people so much to discover

Wikileaks recently exposed the CIA’s interference in the French elections. This is why the ‘axis of evil’ – Sessions, Pompeo & CIA – are going after Julian Assange to silence him and before he can expose any more of their crimes.

It would seem that the French voters still have some waking up to do.

One side spoke the truth, one side had a clear vision of what needed doing to save the country they all claim to love, one side was prepared to go out on a limb to try and save what’s left of France from creeping disaster while one side held out the cuddle blanket of reassurance.

If the eternal optimism of youth has it’s way, and yet another untested young good looking rock star type in the mold of Trudeau and Cameron is elected then the forging, tempering and testing of the young leader in the furnaces of bitter adversity will be a long and painful process – for those caught up in the consequences of this latest mistake. With the grief about the fate of 240 people still raw in the memory after nearly two and a half years, no-one in France today has any excuse for ignorance.

We saw those black clad Crebain flocking at the command of Soros in America, in London, Germany, Paris, the threat they represent is universal, they will be actors too in the great tragedy it seems is now unstoppable, when you pray for France in the two weeks left, you’ll be praying for the survival of all that’s worth saving in what’s left of our civilisation and culture.

“It would seem that the French voters still have some waking up to do.”
They are literally at war (the State of Emergency has been in effect since late 2015).

The country is at war and some of them think that sealing the borders during war time is somehow an extremist position. Same in the US. To some people one Paris attack or one Orlando attack isn’t enough.

Do you see the trend? It all started with the rejection of the PRI as the dominant party in Mexico, then came Brexit and the rejection of all things Brussels, Trump and Sanders coming to prominence in an upheaval of “establishment” politics, and now the French have broken away from the political yoke under which they have languished. The EU just got its death rattle. The world is passing the establishment by in philosophical terms which they do not even understand. Read “Shattered” by Allen and Parnes for the Hillary campaign autopsy.

Macron is THE Establishment. What are you talking about.
He was hand picked by Hollande. Fillon would have been the best choice.

He is not a candidate of any of the usual “major” parties or running under their banner, regardless of who or where his supporters or endorsers originate. That is what I am talking about.

This will be France’s last chance for survival, they better wake up and elect Le Pen or it will be open season in France and the killing will no doubt escalate. Macron is a Hollande puppet, put him in and it will just get a whole lot worse.
The fact that Le Pen did not get a whopping majority demonstrates what weaklings, ready for the slaughter that the French truly are. Looking at the situation, I will be shocked if she were to win, they will elect the traitor, just like the election in Holland, they were too scared to vote in Wilders. Expect France to wither and die.
