Protest in France against Marin Le Pen’s National Rally party.
Protesters are chanting "No pasarán" which means "They shall not pass", a slogan used in battle of verdun in WW1 & extensively used by republican commies in spanish civil war.

Interesting time for France Politics!
It is not going to be easy for Le Pen's also.
Macaron got only 14% vote for EU voting. Here he managed to get 21% votes. Might end up trumping if Global Cabal works their game.

Looks like Macaron played the cards really well.France faces hung parliament as left-wing trumps far-right with no majority

He recovered from EU elections result in the first round of snap vote. Le Penn dropped to Third postition now.
All the immigrants in France voted in mass to leftwing NFP alliance who received 43% of the vote.
None of the parties have the majority and hence hung parliament.

It seems that france is going to have a hung parliament. None of the three blocs can form an outright majority by themselves of 289 seats in the 577-seat parliament

French leftists win most seats in elections, pollsters say; far right falls to third
Racism and antisemitism marred the electoral campaign, along with Russian disinformation campaigns, and more than 50 candidates reported being physically attacked — highly unusual for France

Muslims in Europe: Today’s Right-Wing Politics
Muslims in Western Europe (EU) have become a significant force. Over the last 40 years, their numbers have grown from an insignificant minority to 20 million in 2016, with projections reaching 30 million by the end of this decade. By 2047, their population might reach 50 million. This rise in a non-Christian religion has raised concerns among some. They follow a different religion and have cultural practices distinct from the traditional Christian inhabitants of Europe.
The history of Islam in Europe dates back to the Turkish invasion of southern Europe during the 15th century. The Ottoman Turks lost the Battle of Vienna in 1683, which halted the further spread of Islam in the region. However, areas like the Caucasus, conquered by the Turks, remained under their control and retained a majority Muslim population.
Today, the arrival of Muslims in EU Europe is driven more by economic factors than political or religious ones. In France, most Muslim immigrants come from its former colonies in North Africa. Germany, facing a labor shortage, accepts Muslim immigrants from various regions, including the Middle East. England's Muslim population largely hails from its former colonies in South Asia and other regions.
European countries have recently begun to recognize the implications of this demographic shift. Muslims in Europe are advocating for greater rights and privileges as citizens of democratic countries. Some seek to spread Islam through conversion, which has prompted conservative forces in Europe to take notice. There is a growing sentiment that traditional European culture is under threat.
Conservative parties in countries like Holland, France, Italy, Germany, and Spain have gained traction, often at the expense of more liberal politicians who were less concerned about Muslim immigration. This anti-Muslim immigration movement is reflected in election results. In Holland, anti-Muslim conservatives now control the government and aim to halt Muslim immigration entirely. France's right-wing party has made significant gains and may push for changes to immigration policies. Similar trends are emerging in Germany and other countries.
France and Germany, with Muslim populations of about 8 million and 6 million respectively, will play crucial roles in shaping anti-Muslim immigration policies that could influence the rest of the EU.
In Britain, the mid-20th century saw an influx of Muslim and Indian (non Muslim Punjabi) immigrants due to labor shortages. Today, Britain has 5.5 million Muslim citizens(6.5%), many of whom are striving for an independent identity. Recent British elections saw the election of more than half a dozen Muslim candidates, and the Mayor of London is a Muslim of South Asian origin. This demographic wields significant influence in British politics.
The diverse origins of the Muslim population in the EU and Britain have created a complex dynamic. Some view this as an effort to challenge the Christian majority and potentially convert Europe to Islam, a goal that was not achieved during the Ottoman invasion. Additionally, the Muslim population in the EU is younger and has a higher birth rate, which could lead to demographic shifts.
In response to these concerns, EU countries have reacted differently. The Italian Prime Minister has stated that there is no place for Muslim immigrants in Italy. Eastern and southern EU countries generally hold negative views of Muslims among them. While some EU countries tolerate Muslim populations, they are likely to enact laws to restrict immigration and limit support for their culture.

Changing politics in Europe - it is a political mess
Is Europe shifting rightward? It seems so.
Right-wing parties almost seized parliamentary power in France. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has resulted in the emergence of many Europeans as anti-immigrants, with excessive Islamist and anti-war sentiments. This war is losing its initial appeal.
In the Netherlands, forming a government was challenging after right-wing parties won but couldn't govern alone. Dick Schoof, a center-right politician, became Prime Minister on July 2nd, with right-wing support. As PM, he represents the Netherlands in the European Council, likely pushing against liberalism.
Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán leads a right-wing populist and national-conservative party, influencing Central Europe. He won an ultra-conservative mandate in 2024 and, holding the rotating EU presidency, seeks peace talks with Russia, despite other countries' disapproval.
In Germany, right-wing parties have no governmental control but are gaining support with their anti-immigration and anti-war stance. Their party is under police surveillance for extremist views. It is polling second place hence is challenging the ruling Social Democrats.
Poland, once a social democracy post-communism, now sees right-wing dominance, mobilizing three-quarters of the electorate. Though not facing significant immigration backlash, the war in Ukraine boosts right-wing support. The party that garnered only 7% of votes four years ago secured 15% in 2023, showing conservatism's rise.
In Italy, Giorgia Meloni's far-right party, in power for over a year, leads the third-largest European economy with an anti-immigration and anti-war platform. Her rhetoric aligns her with Hungary's Viktor Orbán in seeking an end to the Ukraine conflict.
In Britain, the center-right Conservatives lost power on July 4th elections, after a decade in control and managing Brexit. With Labour now in charge, economic recovery is prioritized over tackling immigration and Islamism, despite their importance to voters.
For decades, political alliances kept the hard-right from power. Today, this strategy is failing as populist and nationalist parties gain strength across Europe. Six EU countries — Italy, Finland, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, and the Czech Republic — have hard-right parties in government, with many others dominating polls continent-wide.
What was once envisioned as a European superstate has fragmented into political disarray. For centuries, Europe has been divided, largely along Roman Catholic and Protestant lines. World War I was meant to end all wars, but it didn't. World War II sought to correct the aftermath of WWI.
Remarkably, Europe has enjoyed 75 years of peace, a rarity in its history, despite the so-called Cold War. Liberal ideologies have dominated European politics, successfully maintaining stability. However, this cohesion is now unraveling due to factors such as immigration, rising Islamism, and the war in Ukraine. The U.S. can exert influence, but with the potential election of right-winger Donald Trump, who has connections with European right-wing leaders, the situation in Europe may change further to the right.

Our media has failed us both gormint and private one.
We should have covered this chaos and expose it to the world.
Wall hastily built ahead of Trump visit in India criticized as 'hiding poor people'
Senior government official says wall blocking view of slum area in Gujarat state was built ‘for security reasons’
Remember how International media jumped us like hyenas when this happened.
We should have replied them in kind.
One thing I have noticed even the west tend to distrust their own media and is all praise for International ones that cover the alternate narrative. Sky news Australia gets much praise for the Trump coverage.
