On Sunday, French voters decided on which of the 11 nominees would become the country’s next president. Incumbent President Francois Hollande’s term expires in mid-May.
Rachline described Le Pen’s excellent results as “historic” and said the election provided a completely new dynamic. “Marine has won in 47 departments against 42 departments won by Macron,” Rachline told the radio station FranceInter.
According to Rachline Le Pen’s campaign team will put together a new election campaign. “I think we will continue to mobilize [the efforts] during this period between the two rounds, we will continue to run the campaign, indeed, a new campaign is starting now,” Le Pen’s campaign manager David Rachline said.
Rachline said France would become isolated from the global community, if independent candidate Emmanuel Macron wins. On BFMTV, Rachline, FN mayor of Fréjus explained that Macron, the former Minister of Economy “proposes no more and no less than the acceleration of the policy of François Hollande in all areas.”
Francois Hollande is apparently not the only element of comparison used for Macron. Florian Philippot reminded viewers that Republicans had compared Emmanuel Macron not only to the current unpopular President, calling him “Emmanuel Hollande” but to his predecessor, Nicolas Sarkozy. On France 2, the vice-president of the FN, Philippot noted that Macron was already celebrating an early victory.
“I saw Mr. Macron take himself for Mr. Sarkozy the night of his victory, except that Sarkozy did it the evening of his real victory. I saw a kind of Fouquet’s surrogate last night. Probably Fouquet’s was closed so Mr. Macron went to another Parisian restaurant, with his friends of the showbiz, whom he welcomed,” Philippot remarked.
Nicholas Sarkozy told a TV interviewer on France2 in 2012 that he regretted the infamous party he held at the upmarket Fouquet’s restaurant on the night of his election victory in 2007. While the party ran into the evening, crowds of supporters were kept waiting at the Place de la Concorde for the new president-elect to attend a victory rally.
Sarkozy had gone to the famous café-restaurant on the Champs-Elysées to celebrate with a group of friends from the world of business, media, showbusiness and politics. The party has entered into French political history, inspiring a book and even its own Wikipedia entry.
“And he [Macron] gave us a second-round victory speech, as if the French had no more say,” said Philippot, describing Maine Le Pen’s opponent for the second round of the presidential election as “much too arrogant and too confident, as if he had already won “.
After the presidential elections on May 7, legislative elections are scheduled to take place on 11 and 18 June 2017 to elect the members of the 15th National Assembly of the French Fifth Republic.

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.

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.

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.
