Maréchal, a former MP for Le Pen’s party, withdrew from the public political sphere last year to set up a political administration establishment in Lyon, called the Institut de Sciences Sociales Economiques et Politiques (ISSEP).
Her last public appearance had been in February, when Maréchal was invited to give a speech at the American Conservative Union’s CPAC conference to an American audience in Washington DC on the state of France.
She has since rarely commented on current political affairs, but Maréchal – who has dropped the “Le Pen” from her name – has broken her long silence saying felt she had to speak up for the Yellow Vests.
“Faced with the attitude of those in power, their elite contempt for the ‘Yellow Vests’ and their surrealist response to their demands, I could not help it,” she was quoted as saying by French daily Le Figaro.
French police had to fire tear gas and water cannons to disperse vandals in Paris on Saturday, as thousands gathered in the capital and staged road blockades countrywide.
She underscored that by the time violence erupted on the Champs-Élysées, the real members of the Yellow Vest movement had already left. Leftists took paving stones from the avenue to hurl at riot police, who were wearing gas masks and tall plastic shields.
Maréchal had arrived shortly after 2 pm, she said. “When I arrived on the Champs-Élysées, the real Yellow Vests were long gone. The movement was totally absorbed by left-wing activists. We heard: ‘death to capitalism!’ If this is the ‘far-right’, it has changed.
“It is a popular movement and completely apolitical. If that had not been the case, I would not have acted in the same way and not have provided the same support,” she added.
Her aunt, Marine Le Pen, has been a vocal supporter of the Yellow Vests. Le Pen lambasted President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday following his speech to the movement saying, “The total confusion of the presidential speech and the absolute emptiness in terms of solutions are striking.”
When Macron announced an increase in the national fuel tax, the French found themselves at breaking point. Fuel prices in France are already extremely high at 1,50 Euros per litre. The discontent has united rural and urban France, because all French are compelled by certain things: taxes, fuel prices and, more broadly, inflation.
The French President has furthermore urged nations to eschew nationalism and embrace globalism. But President Donald Trump dismissed his call: “The problem is that Emmanuel suffers from a very low Approval Rating in France, 26 percent, and an unemployment rate of almost 10 percent. He was just trying to get onto another subject.”
Meanwhile German Finance Minister and Vice-Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Wednesday proposed that France give up its permanent seat on the UN Security Council and turn it into an EU seat to allow the bloc to speak with one voice on the global stage.
“I realise this will take some convincing in Paris but it would be a bold and smart goal,” Scholz said in a speech given in Berlin on the future of the European Union.
To lessen the pain of losing its powerful seat, France could become “the permanent EU ambassador to the United Nations”, Scholz told Channel News Asia.

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.

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."
