FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The elections are a key test for 24 government ministers whose jobs are on the
line, as Mr Hollande has instated a rule whereby an electoral loss will cost
them their post. Last night it appeared that all had saved their seats.
Mr Hollande had called for a “solid and coherent” majority for the
Socialists, which would allow him to rule unfettered as he tries to lead an
anti-austerity, pro-growth drive in Europe while bringing down France’s
public deficit to zero by 2017.
“I will only be able to bring about change, the change that the French
have asked me to bring about, if I have a majority in the National Assembly,”
he said on Thursday.
The vote is being seen as a litmus test for the far-Right, hoping to build on
the strong presidential showing of its chief Marine Le Pen by gaining its
first presence in parliament since the 1980s.
Miss Le Pen won her bitter duel against arch-rival Jean-Luc Mélenchon of the
Left Front, coming first in Hénin-Beaumont, in the northern Pas de Calais
department. But she is expected to lose in round two to a Socialist as Mr
Mélenchon bowed out last night to back him.
“The Marine Blue Rally has resisted remarkably well tonight,” said
Miss Le Pen. “We confirm our position tonight as the third political
power of France.”
Meanwhile, Marion Le Pen, 22-year old grand daughter of FN founder Jean-Marie
Le Pen reached the second round in the southeastern Vaucluse, coming first
with 34 per cent.
Despite winning less support than in the presidential election, Louis Aliot,
National Front’s deputy leader, said it was a “victory” compared
to the 4.6 per cent the party mustered in parliamentary elections five years
ago.
More than 6,000 candidates took part in a race, where anyone with a score of
12.5 percent of registered voters goes on to the second and final round. Few
win the 50 percent upwards required to secure a seat outright in round one.
Mr Hollande has promised to reverse record unemployment levels 10 per cent and
erase a government overdraft without making drastic cuts to France’s
generous welfare state or introducing Greek-style austerity.
Among his first measures was to enact a 30-per cent pay cut for himself and
his ministers.
A Left-wing majority in parliament would see the Left in control of all the
levers of power in France. It has a majority in the Senate, the upper house
of parliament, and controls most of the country’s regions and local
government posts.
Mr Hollande, 57, needs a clear majority to push for a reworking of a
German-led fiscal responsibility pact signed by his predecessor and other
European leaders, saying more pro-growth measures are needed.
