«Marine Le Pen says THANK YOU!»

Everything the people can't stand any longer - in particular the excesses of financial neo-capitalism and the abuses of Sixties-era libertarianism - is ignored by the traditional parties, who are far too comfortable in their constant bath: on the hard left, a purely and naively economic anti-capitalism which ignores the exaggerations of the bobo-libertarian left; on the so-called «classic» right, a «liberal conservatism» which makes them express themselves on social issues (secularism or security, for example) but which is satisfied with an exclusively financial liberalism which is copiously criticized by the public.

Journalist and essayist Jean-François Kahn denounces and develops all this in his latest book, Marine Le Pen says THANK YOU!. In particular, he explains how the respective abandonments of the various parties have created a staircase for the Lepéniste party - an escalator, since the FN hardly needed to step forward to win!

No one presented a real alternative to this ridiculous UMP-PS bipolarism, an alternative with a complete and coherent vision. No one was interested in what was ailing citizens; they were told that insecurity didn't exist, that there was only a feeling of insecurity.’intelligentsia In short, the media and the political establishment called them imbeciles. After all, it's the petty-bourgeois left that's largely responsible for what was bound to happen, namely 25% votes for the Front Party in the European elections.

This Gallic issue is fascinating in its own right; it's even more so for us Swiss, who are interested in French politics but don't find ourselves in as poor a state as our neighbors. This analysis can serve as a warning, an anticipation, a preparation for a catastrophe that could well happen in our country too. My wish is that our parties will (re)find a societal and socio-economic line! And may some enlightened movement in particular awaken from its slumber, so that it redirects mankind towards responsibility and a sense of the common good.
