As my blog proudly enters its 12th year my first blog of 2022 looks at the French presidential election of April 2022. As the title of the blog indicates the result will almost certainly means continued globalist/EU control of France and the relegation of French national democracy to transnational globalist institutions.
The first round of the election will take place on the 10th April 2022. With the top two candidates in the first round ballot taking part in the second round ballot on the 24th April 2022.
According to the opinion polls the current president Emmanuel Macron will win an easy victory in the second round. He was on the extreme right wing of the French socialist party a French Blairite. He is the candidate for’ republic on the march’. Macron is a liberal globalist and staunchly pro EU. Not surprisingly he has a nasty side.He says he wants to ‘piss off the unvaccinated’
The main challengers are Marine Le Pen of the National Rally party. She has moved towards the centre, she is now pro EU and pro the Euro currency. A strange shift in policy.
Eric Zemmour of the Reconquest party. is from a Berber Jewish background. He is anti Arab and anti Islam. He is in my opinion another fake anti globalist He has recently dropped his opposition to the Euro currency.
Valerie Pecresse the candidate of the Republican party is pro American and pro EU. She is probably the first choice of the American political elite. It is sad that the Gaullist party have abandoned their past heritage of French national sovereignty over the EU.
Jean Luc Melenchon of Unbowed France is my personal choice for president, He is some sort of socialist. He is in favour of France leaving NATO and forming an alliance with Russia. This is in my opinion an excellent policy. However his main weakness he has not called for France to leave the Euro currency and the EU.To his credit he has spoken at some anti vaccine passport rallies.
Anne Hidalgo is the candidate of the totally bankrupt French ‘socialist’ party’. Polling about 3% in the opinion polls she is pro EU and pro globalist. The ‘socialist’ party in France have never recovered from the awful Francois Hollande presidency.
Summing up the April 2022 election is a very depressing spectacle. Globalist pro EU forces will continue to control France after the election. Thus relegating the power of the French national parliament.
In conclusion as an anti globalist socialist. I feel that France needs to build a mass anti globalist/ anti EU socialist movement.
Best wishes to all for the future.
An hour is a long time in politics nowadays!
