FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Claude Guéant, Mr Sarkozy’s interior minister, further stoked controversy by
claiming a Socialist proposal to allow foreigners to vote in local elections
risked leading to halal being forced onto school menus.
Mr Sarkozy has already been accused by some of playing with fire, popularising
his discourse to the hilt in order to secure the far-Right vote – the only
way he believes he can gain sufficient momentum to finish ahead of Socialist
front-runner François Hollande in round one of elections on April 22 and in
a second round run-off on May 6.
Last week, he baldly claimed there were “too many foreigners” in France,
vowing to cut immigration by half and limit state benefits for legal
migrants.
The handbrake Right turn appears to have paid off as since last week polls now
put him in first place for round one of elections, just ahead of Mr
Hollande. It has also helped him keep out of range of Miss Le Pen, who at
one stage threatened to knock Mr Sarkozy out of the presidential race.
Now polling at around 17 per cent, Miss Le Pen has responded by reverting to
her traditional anti-immigration fundamentals. On Saturday in Ajaccio she
blasted a “dictatorship of minorities” seeking to impose its “content on
school manuals”.
By its very nature, France’s two-round presidential race invites mainstream
candidates to court extremes in the knockout first round before toning down
their rhetoric in the second round run-off.
That is how Mr Sarkozy clinched victory in 2007 – he was even called a Vichy
sympathiser for pledging to create a ministry of immigration and national
identity.
This time, the stakes are even higher as he is facing record popularity lows
for a president at the end of a first mandate and a majority of French today
say they will under no circumstances vote for him.
But Left-wing candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon tied the tone of the campaign to
the tragedy by saying: “In the rest of this campaign, I invite everyone to
better measure the weight of words and the choice of quotations. Until then,
our hearts bleed.”
