FRENCH FAR-RIGHT leader Marine Le Pen, who lost the presidential election, has said she will run in next month’s parliamentary election in which her National Front party hopes to become the leading opposition force.
The vote will determine France’s new political landscape after both the traditional left and right were sidelined from the presidential race and Le Pen was roundly defeated by centrist Emmanuel Macron.
“Yes, I will be a candidate,” she said on French TV channel TF1, confirming she will run in the northern town of Henin-Baumont.
She already ran for elections there in 2007 and 2012 unsuccessfully.
“I couldn’t imagine not heading my troops in a battle I consider fundamental,” she added.
Marine Le Pen’s 33.9% showing against Macron weakened her standing in the party, even though she racked up an historic 10.6 million votes.
Le Pen accused the country’s main political parties of “colluding” with the government and the new president.
Macron revealed his new cabinet this week, with a mix of Socialist, centrist and Republican parties.
“The subject of the euro worries French people considerably, in an almost irrational way,” said Le Pen, who ran on an anti-Euro campaign in the presidential election.
“We are going to have to take this into account, discuss and reflect.”

Typical leftards, France needs Le Pen more than ever, at least the English got it right & is pulling out of the EU
The Dutch blew their chance with too many leftards. & the French the same
10.6 mil people voted Le Pen
So hopefully it’s not over yet
Viva Le Pen
@Gary Purcell: It’s Vive not Viva you rightard, she’s not Spanish. If it wasn’t for the progressive Left, illiterate Conservatives would still have us living in caves still, drawing pictures of animals on the walls.
@Matty kinevan: the left love islam, a 6th century backward belief system.
Socialist leftards hate western tradition, its capitalism that has made the west the greatest place to live, now the left are about to destroy it.
Why cant you all just move to your paradise in Venezuala
@Matty kinevan: nice to see the grammar and spelling police so active
@Matty kinevan: you rightard ? And your correcting others about their spelling? Moron
@Stouts O Shea: *You’re
@Owen Martin: “the left love islam, a 6th century backward belief system”
But… the right love Christianity, that’s even older?!?!
In the real worl most left or left of center have no time for any of the BS religions.. But you keep listening to what you want to hear.
@Matty kinevan: Islam is good. We teach girls to be slaves. We marry with them young. We good religion. Allahu Akbar.
@Grainne Abdulaziz: I’m very aware that Islam is good, I’m a practising Sunni Muslim myself here in Wexford.
@Matty kinevan: No Indamicks, you are a loser troll from limerick who likes to impersonate my account. The jig is up dude, I know you’re not Liam Egan and I’m gonna make sure everyone else knows too :-)
Will she start crying again if she loses?
@Ryan Comiskey: I wish Donald was my Daddy, and Marine was my Mammy, and we could play Aryan families together!
The disadvantaged & a good sizeable amount of French ordinary people are despairing over the election of an establishment figure. A Millionaire banker who will tell workers they must be more “flexible” with “reforms” while he was educated in the most prestigious university & probably school & probably had help from mammy and daddy.
@Matty kinevan: you pretend to be joking so that you can say what you really mean but get away with it. Alt-right technique. Deep down you are a neo-Nazi. Joking about Ayranism is the trivialisation of evil.
@Tony Daly: Tony, you talk a serious amount of crap dude… That was actually a knob who is impersonating my account. If you click/tap our usernames you can easily see this.
@abcyz: You sound just like an Antifa Communist.
@Tony Daly: Ah Yes, Tony. Call everyone a Nazi based on what you believe to be in their mind. Bigot.
RIP France
@Owen Martin: RIP Owen’s sense of perspective.
@Matty kinevan: 15000 terrorists in france, yes the problem is my sense of perspective
Its too late for France, she cant do anything. Isis will run riot there now as only she had a policy to deal with them. Too many cucks in France. Au revoir.
@Owen Martin: And too many idiots listening to alt right BS on Breitbart and the like. Seriously you sound like a bunch of sheep, If you didn’t have names on here no one could tell you all apart. Did they send you all a book of words to use?
There are 15,000 suspected terrorists in France. It’s over. The battle is lost. She needs to move on.
@Owen Martin: ‘Cucks’? What are you, 12?
@Grainne Abdulaziz: Pretending to be a woman online? What are you, 12? Go on, bust out your fake matty account there and respond to this.. good “girl” grainne.
@Matty kinevan: Go away, horrid troll.
@Grainne Abdulaziz: How’s your bra? Is it alright? Sure take it off there go on. I’ll go make the tea and you take off your bra.
@Matty kinevan: Eh, I don’t know what you get up to at home with your mother, that’s your business, but I think I’ll pass on your very creepy suggestion.
I worry about Liam’s schizophrenia sometimes. It could go off like a firework.
@Patrick J. O’Rourke: Grainne is not Liam Egan. He’s a gimpy troll from limerick
She shouldn’t have softened her message. She was never going to fool moderates with her pitiful attempts to widen her appeal, and all she was doing was making herself look weak in front of her actual support base. The media was going to attack her no matter what, so she may as well have embraced it and looked honest and sincere in her convictions in the process, rather than as the typical untrustworthy politician, trying to fool people.
Using the words “troops” to describe supporters and “battle” to describe an election race only compounds how right wing she is.
Marine is going nowhere, keep laughing
They won’t be laughing for long
All you have to do is look on You Tube at the riots in Paris and see what the migrants are doing. Its happening all over Europe. I dont think wanting that to stop makes you a far-right Nazi. Macron is still inviting more.
Once the Far-Right get their noses in the trough there’s no getting it out again. The French people rejected you and your racist views Marine, p**s off!!!
@Grainne Abdulaziz: Yawn
@Grainne Abdulaziz: Islam is not a race, its a stone age belief system
Dress up and put makeup on pig and call it a gip, it’s still a pig. For all her attempts to change the image of the FN it remains at heart the party her father founded.
@Mick Jordan: yes, soft Nazis are still Nazis
I really hope she doesn’t get in. She seems to understand what we want to do. Thank God we’ve got an open borders, muslim lover for the next few years. Allahu Akbar
Does democracy exist under the EU now?
Her biggest voters were youth and biggest opposition the elderly. Give it 8 years and she will be in
have your say
