Little reminder:
1) the National Front wins these Europeans with 26% of the votes. He sends to Brussels from 23 to 25 seats (on 74). The FN is in the lead in five of the seven metropolitan constituencies (outside Ile-de-France and West).
2) the UMP arrives five points behind the FN. This disappointing result weakens Jean-François Cope who promises an explanation on the Bygmalion case.
3) François Hollande suffers a scathing failure, eight weeks after the slap of the municipal.

Contrary to what some media say, the triumph of the FN is not to be related to a genuine French adherence to the deep ideas of the party scarecrow.
In fact, such a result is the signal of a popular suffering vis-a-vis the ultra-liberal policies of which we suffer the pains for some decades already.
The almost abandonment of the parties of the left of the left can very well be explained: its last defend an opening on the world, the abolition of borders, the legalization of the undocumented etc ...
Except it appears that the contradictions of the left of the left are now too obvious for Citizens to still swallow them, it is hardly possible to advocate openness and protection of employment and national sovereignty. ..
As Coluche said:"The left is zero, the right is zero, I vote zero"
What do you think?
