Le Pen appeared on L’Emission Politique on France2, live.
“The fuzzy diplomacy of France is a danger for our companies as well as for our fellow citizens. We no longer have relations in terms of intelligence with Russia, Turkey, Syria, Iran,” Le Pen said when questioned about the conflict in the Middle East.
“We need an independent inquiry into what happened in Israel, as requested by Great Britain and Germany especially,” she explained and added that the solution that France must defend is security for Israel and sovereignty for Palestine, a two-state solution in accordance with international law.
She said she would never have transferred the French embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, since “France must respect international law if it wants to call for respect for international law”.
She also criticised the participation of France in the recent attack on Syria. “The strikes in Syria were carried out outside international law by [president] Macron, we do not have to follow in the footsteps of Trump!”
According to Le Pen, the extraterritoriality of American law makes it possible to punish companies, often European ones which are – as if by chance – in competition with American companies. She chided the EU for doing nothing about it.
“We are going to suffer the consequences of the extraterritoriality of American law, which is a scandal! We need a blocking law to defend our businesses and our interests in this regard.”
Following the American model will bring ruin to France, Le Pen warned. “The globalised economic model is involved, and with this model, we are going to ruin. There is another model, based on economic patriotism, regulation, the ‘made in France’, a fairer taxation for the middle classes and the poor.
“All the [economic] indicators are in the red. Unemployment has increased by 63 000 unemployed, all categories combined. The external deficit has increased,” she said.
“The urgency is to find our national borders, this is the first sovereignty to recover. I remain an absolute defender of the sovereignty of the French people and the independence of France, I want a Europe built on free nations.” Le Pen dismissed claims that European conservatives and patriots were only a few fringe groups.
“There may be a majority of Eurosceptics in the European Parliament tomorrow. And it scares the European Commission: we can stop this Europe, which is taking people to their ruin!
“There are people in Europe who come to power and who have the same demands, the same dreams as us, and the same criticisms of the European Union: we can see it in Austria, in Italy, in Hungary,” the leader of the Front National explained.
“France has stumbled on the failure of its immigration and integration policy. We must remove the right of birth, which is too attractive for immigration. We have to stop immigration, we are completely saturated, with 500 000 illegal immigrants are residing in the country, and 230 000 residence permits are granted each year!”
She said the measures that must be taken are to reform the right to asylum, and to force asylum seekers to file their application outside French territory, in consulates and embassies of a foreign country.
“The government is aggravating the phenomenon of immigration by allowing ‘migrant minors’ to bring their families in. This is a criminal policy towards the French people.”

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.
Turkey Believes Sweden Hasn’t Done Enough

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.
