Le Pen should team up with other pro-Russian candidate, says pundit
French pundit, Alain Soral, has singled out the far left's Jean-Luc Melenchon as a possible match for Front National candidate, Marine Le Pen.
Published: April 2, 2017, 9:47 am
Soral says both are pro-Russian and both would address the concerns of French workers. Youth unemployment is above the national average in France, at more than 20 percent.
But predictions are bound to be complicated, because almost 40 percent of French voters remain undecided. That was down only two percentage points from a week earlier, showing a wide open race to the Elysee Palace.
The Front National is the number one party with young people in France. Recent polls show Le Pen has 40 percent support among French youths aged 18 to 24, a astounding figure for a country that’s traditionally been famous for its leftist youth movements.
Gaëtan Dussausaye, 23, leader of the FNJ, Front National Jeunesse or youth wing, says during the last presidential election five years ago, the FNJ had 10 000 members. Today is has 25 000 adherents, the largest of any of the political parties’ youth factions.
He says only Le Pen will challenge with 40 years of globalisation, multiculturalism and negative free market policies that have hurt France.
The French as well as international media are pushing hard for Emmanuel Macron, who has slightly increased his voter base certainty, up 8 points from a week ago since campaigning began in earnest in February. But Macron has so far failed to attract new supporters despite being the MSM darling.
He has labelled the Front National the “party of hatred” in an emotional appeal at a rally in Marseilles. “The National Front is our main opponent,” Macron said while vowing to “fight” them.
Francois Fillon has also recovered from the lows that followed a scandal involving paying his wife with tax contributions for no work. Fillon is now within 5 points of Le Pen and 6 points of Macron, according to BVA’s poll.
The Republicans candidate Fillon warned voters about France’s heavy debts, saying the country faces the same fate as Greece during a visit to Corsica. In 2007 as prime minister under Sarkozy, during a visit to the island, Fillon had declared that he was head of a “failing state”.
Fillon has based his campaign on tough but realistic proposals, including cutting France’s deficit by pledging 100 billion euros of spending cuts and a serious reduction of 500 000 public sector jobs.
Marine Le Pen however, the frontrunner in the first round in April, still boasts the most solid voter base, with an unchanged 81 percent of her voters certain to pick her. Le Pen is due to hold a meeting in Bordeaux on Sunday.
An Opinionway survey published recently sees Macron defeating Le Pen with a large majority, provided the French do not vote against her in the second round.
But fewer voters are trusting opinion polls. One French daily, Le Parisien, has stopped publishing them altogether, and at FRANCE 24, polls are not included in day-to-day coverage any longer.
The French presidential run-off is being held on a holiday weekend, which could affect turnout in favour of Le Pen, as only wealthy voters can afford a holiday.
On March 27, in an opinion piece in French left-wing daily Libération, physicist Serge Galam, calculated that in the second round, if voter turnout is extremely high among Le Pen supporters – around 90 percent – but relatively low among other voters – around 70 percent – Le Pen could gain more than enough support to win.
Galam concludes: “After going from impossible to unlikely, the election of Le Pen as president in 2017 is now slipping from unlikely to very possible.”
French daily Le Figaro on March 11-12 predicted that if Macron’s presidency turns out to be disappointing, Le Pen will be elected president in 2022.

NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s
CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.
European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections
EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter
The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems. However, it has met its match in the Swedish air defense missile system RBS 70, which has quickly led to significant losses for the Russian helicopter forces.
The Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide
Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.
Strong Confidence in German AfD
Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.
The Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy
The rising popularity of AfD has raised strong concerns within the establishment. Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. Certain representatives of the party are accused of becoming increasingly "extreme," and in an unusual move, the influential weekly newspaper Der Spiegel demanded that AfD be "banned."
