Marion Maréchal-Le Pen quits Front National
Marion Maréchal-Le Pen, the niece of Marine Le Pen has announced that she will not stand for reelection to the French parliament, Le Figaro reported on Tuesday.
Published: May 10, 2017, 9:12 am
She is one of only two National Front MPs in the lower house of parliament, but during the campaign trail, Marine had ruled out a cabinet position for Marion in her government if she had won.
Marion was kept in the background during the presidential race, arguably because of her ties to Identitarians.
She was however considering leaving politics. “I won’t be in politics for my whole life,” she told POLITICO in April. “It’s certain that at some point I will go off and do something different.”
Maréchal-Le Pen will also be quiting as councillor in the Provences-Alpes-Côte d’Azur regional council, a major blow for the National Front as it will deprive the party of a popular leader in southern France.
Following Marine’s defeat in the presidential election on Sunday, the Front National was counting on Maréchal-Le Pen to take seats during the legislative elections to be held in June.
Marine Le Pen has been informed of her niece’s decision, Le Monde reported.
“She had been telling me about this for a while,” an MP from southern France told the newspaper. “But if she wants to do this, now is the time.”
Le Parisien reported that Marion had made a “personal choice” to quit the political scene. “I respect her choice. I know how demanding political life can be,” the Marine said her niece’s decision was made.
The granddaughter of FN founder Jean-Marie Le Pen, Maréchal-Le Pen, 27, had been touted as a future leader of the party.
According to Le Figaro, she now wishes to spend more time with her young daughter.
In Sunday’s election, the party nearly doubled the share of votes from 2002, when then-leader Jean-Marie Le Pen ran against Jacques Chirac.
Analysis of the results in three polling stations with an atypical profile in the Paris region confirms that the gendarmes as well as their families, voted for Marine Le Pen.
In Versailles, Marine polled 64.61 percent and 53.34 percent respectively at two voting stations in the Satory plateau.
Emmanuel Macron only won 35.39 percent and 46.66 percent in the same constituency. These are the only voting stations in Versailles that did not put Macron ahead.
Abstention was also slightly higher on the Satory plateau than in the rest of Versailles, according to French daily L’Opinion. The only people living on the Satory plateau are gendarmes, military personnel and civilians working in the defence industry who benefit from social housing.
The same observation is true in Nanterre, with voting station 14 which corresponds to the Republican Guard barracks. Marine Le Pen won well over half of the votes. The contrast with the rest of the city is also striking here: Macron gained 83.15 percent and Le Pen only 16.85 percent.
The Cevipof polls by Sciences Po regularly indicate that the FN gets around half of the vote from members of the military, gendarmes and police.
Of Macron’s voters, nearly half (43 percent) said they voted against Le Pen, not for Macron, and twelve percent of the electorate cast blank or spoiled ballots to express their opposition.
Israelis eligible to vote in the second round of France’s presidential elections had opted overwhelmingly for the winner, Emmanuel Macron, France’s ambassador to Israel said on Monday. In a post on her Twitter account, Helene Le Gal said that Macron received 96.3 percent of votes in Israel.
Macron’s transition team began outlining his globalist agenda on Tuesday, which expands upon that of the Socialist Party (PS) government of outgoing President François Hollande in which Macron was a minister.
Insiders expect he will continue the wars in Syria, Iraq and Mali, as the figures Macron is considering as potential prime ministers, include globalist Christine Lagarde, the head of the International Monetary Fund and Jean-Yves Le Drian, the Socialist Party government’s defense minister, who had worked closely with the unpopular Hollande.
In the absence of a clear parliamentary majority, Macron’s administration will struggle to pass legislation, as none of the established parties have anything to propose to French voters who are feeling the noxious effects of globalisation and immigration.

Europe
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.
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."

The Ursula von der Leyen Affair
After a criminal complaint in Belgium against the President of the European Commission, the so-called SMS-case, now takes a new turn.

Publisher of Unique Literature Worldwide Blocked by International Distributor
Arktos has distinguished itself by publishing groundbreaking philosophers and social critics. Now, the publisher's international distributor has abruptly terminated the cooperation, and more than 400 already printed titles cannot reach their audience.

We have spoken with Arktos founder Daniel Friberg about the ongoing struggle for freedom of speech in a shrinking cultural corridor.
