With 51% of the votes cast, the socialist François Hollande has been elected President of the Republic by the “French.”
Quotation marks are necessary because, in reality, only 32% of the French of voting age supported his candidacy. Quotation marks are also necessary because, as in the first round of this election, the ethnic vote largely favored François Hollande. In his program, as well as among his electorate, he was indeed the candidate of the immigrants. The flags waved at Place de la Bastille will leave a bitter memory for everyone, including many voters of François Hollande…
François Hollande was elected with the passive complicity of the UMP and Nicolas Sarkozy, solely due to the enormous disappointment caused by the outgoing President, in a France that is nonetheless not aligned with his ideas or project. Last night, like us, many French people had every right to clearly say, “Hollande is not my President!”
They will soon be joined by many others, once the joy of having ousted Sarkozy fades, upon seeing the socialist program come to fruition.
Of course, the Nice region resists this pink fever. More than ever, more here than elsewhere, the question of rallying a true rooted right, breaking away from globalism, imposes itself. One can’t help but think that we would have everything to gain by increasing our political autonomy, both in decision-making and management.
François Hollande will solve no problems on the economic and social fronts. So he will attempt to satisfy his electorate on the societal front, and we already know that the regularization of illegal immigrants, granting voting rights to non-European foreigners, or the access to marriage and adoption for homosexual couples will be among the first reforms that the new majority will implement.
And we will be there to oppose it, to voice the opinion of those 68% of French who did not vote for François Hollande.
