Politics and elections in France

[Komita]

The only candidate that deserve respect, our support but will also have support from nationalists all over Europe is Marie Le Pen. Do pobeda!

Le Pen criticised the troika - the International Monetary Fund, the European Union and the European Central Bank - which has demanded Greece impose austerity measures in return for bailout funds.

"The troika unites the European Commission, the Central Bank and the IMF against the people," she said.

Marine is strictly against the EU. She says EU is dead and she will bring Franc back to France by exiting from Eurozone and re-negotiate French membership of EU and quit from it if eurocrats in Brussels refuses her demands.

Confronted with plunging polls and deserting allies, President Nicolas Sarkozy faces the prospect of a rout in the two-round French presidential election starting this weekend, with senior members of his government already said to be certain of defeat.

Supporters of the front-running Socialist candidate, François Hollande, could scarcely contain their euphoria when they gathered in Lille for their last big rally on Tuesday night before French electors go to the polls on Sunday. They interrupted the candidate's speech endlessly with chants of "François president, François president".

"You are well informed," Mr Hollande quipped. "It is possible we are going to win. It's not certain... but, yes, I feel the hope rising."

New polls published yesterday suggested that Mr Hollande, 57, was leading the field of 10 candidates in the first round with up to 29 per cent of the vote. He had extended his lead over Mr Sarkozy to between two and four points. In voting intentions for the two-candidate, second round on 6 May, Mr Hollande now leads the President by a "landslide" margin of 14 to 16 per cent.

In a series of damning, private remarks, reported by the Le Canard Enchainé newspaper, senior members of President Sarkozy's government said that defeat now seemed inevitable.

"The carrots are cooked," the Prime Minister, François Fillon, was quoted as saying. "[Sarkozy's] strategy of campaigning on hard-right issues was a serious mistake." The former centre-right prime minister, Jean-Pierre Raffarin, was reported to have said privately: "There is no chance of us winning."

Sad to say Le Pen came in 3rd place in this Sunday's 1st round of voting.

Socialist champion Francois Hollande stamped his authority on the French presidential race on Sunday, winning the first round of polling and setting up a May 6 run-off with incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy.

Hollande won between 28 and 30% of the vote in the first round, to Sarkozy's 24
to 27.5, according to estimates compiled from ballot samples by several polling agencies and obtained by AFP from multiple sources.

That made Sarkozy the only incumbent French president to lose a first round-vote in the history of the Fifth Republic, which came into being in 1958.

Official results were not to be made available until polls closed in major urban centres at 8:00pm (1800 GMT), but the tendency was clear and the mood at Sarkozy's campaign headquarters was resigned and sombre.

"It's a very good first round score. Dignity paid off," said Socialist spokeswoman Aurelie Filippetti, welcoming Sunday's result in the more upbeat venues of Hollande's party headquarters.

Ten candidates were in the race -- Hollande and Sarkozy being trailed by far-right flag-bearer Marine Le Pen, hard-left firebrand Jean-Luc Melenchon, veteran centrist Francois Bayrou and a handful of outsiders.

Le Pen came third with between 17 and 20%, beating bitter enemy Melenchon, who scored between 10.5 and 13%. Bayrou won between 8.7 and 10%, according to the estimates seen by AFP.

dOes anyone know if Hollande will recognise macedonia by her constitutional name??

[Voltron]

Does anybody know exactly what positions Hollande has for France ? Or is he just another immigrant friendly socialist making empty promises ? Europe needs austerity measures, without them they will end up bloated like the USA. There really is no way around it. Does it suck ? Yes, it does. Is it for the better long term ? Yes, it is. You cant just spend your way out of a problem without bringing in income. What I like about Sarkozy is his stance against foreigners and that they have to conform to society or else they dont belong here. Le Pen is also a refreshing candadite but unfortunatly I dont see that happening. The Far Right in general is making ground across Europe. For the first time I can remember Chrysi Avgi is over 5 percent in the election ratings slated for May 6th and growing. To be honest Im growing more sympathetic to them every day that passes.

I don't think so.

Hollande is even more Eurofanatic than Sarkozy and he is also in bed with Armenian diaspora in France, which automatically makes him pro-Greek too.

Yes, i think you just described him.

You cannot compare Golden Down fascists with Marine Le Pen`s FN party. FN has roots in France and it`s an old political movement with proper strategies while Golden Dawn`s base consists of delusional fascist Greek youth wearing black hoods with clubs or making stupid scenes in Athens streets with their army uniforms and doing push-ups, military training moves.

Their biggest success can be slaughtering pigs in front of Ottoman era mosques or demolishing Turkish graves but thats it.

Golden Down`s increase in support for most likely your country`s miserable condition and nothing to do with the party itself. I mean, even if you have enough funds to create a political party and air some commercials on tv channels, i bet you would have a chance to get 5% in Greece because people mostly likely fed up with the existing parties and looking for new stuff even if it`s only few delusional fascists.

You've always been sympathetic to those racist maggots because you think just like they do. Holding your tongue on forums like this doesn't make you any different to them.

Hollande is also a Jew like Sarkozy pro EU pro big banks - like the imaginary difference between Obama and Bush, the same or worse. Le Pen is the ONLY salvation for France and the French People and a SLIGHT hope for Macedonia, but in my view death to the EU and a slight chance for Macedonia is better than NO chance at all as is the case with Sarkozy or Hollande.

The French will be sorry for Sarkozy and even more so for Hollande like the USA people were who voted for Bush because Clinton was crap only to find bigger crap in Bush so then they switched to Obama as the savoir only to get even bigger crap - the old imaginary left/right paradigme while in the background Sarkozy and Hollande have dinner and drinks - remember the photos of the Bush's and Obama's together?, yeah we really hate each other, Not!

They treat the public like fools because that's how they behave, although it is a self fulfilling prophesy because of the chemicals they pump into our food, water, toiletries, household/industrial products are dumbing down society while exploding diseases - once, a very long lime ago, a eg sports star would visit a young child with cancer and it was newsworthy because it was a rare event while now children with cancer are common and told they are 'in the club' and get special exclusive toys in hospitals. It is not impossible to turn it around but the likes of Le Pen, Ron Paul and Rand Paul and the General with a Polish sounding name I can't think of now, and Nigel Farange and the likes need to win - WE the people have the power to vote in our salvation if we can keep a sane thought together long enough to the next election.
