As attacks mount around the election, one presidential front runner said France is seeing "a climate near civil war". Journalists accused of bias. Judges said to be taking orders from the president. The country in a state of "near civil war."
This isn't America's bitter presidential election campaign last year, but France's in 2017.
The latest comments from conservative Francois Fillon, who has accused the Socialist government of failing to protect candidates, underline the increasingly ugly tone of France's campaign.
Clashes in the western city of Nantes at the weekend during a demonstration against far-right leader Marine Le Pen and attacks on buses transporting her supporters were "unacceptable," he said on Monday.
On Sunday evening, he accused the government of "failing to create the conditions for the peaceful exercise of democracy," accusing it of allowing "a climate of near civil war to develop in the country."
Seven police officers were injured on Saturday in Nantes including one with serious burns when anarchists and vandals began throwing rocks and firebombs during an anti-Le Pen protest.
Fillon, the former frontrunner whose bid has been thrown into turmoil by a corruption investigation, also said his campaign events were being disrupted "every day" by far-left activists.
Both Fillon and Le Pen have also attacked judicial investigations into their use of allegedly fake parliamentary aides as an attempt by outgoing Socialist President Francois Hollande to influence the election.

Ever notice when our side wins or gets close, its near civil war, anarchy, fascism, etc.
And they can elect a revolutionary socialist. A gay moslem atheist maoist and that’s just normal and weepy in its wholesome beauty.
Welcome to the club France. We’ve been there since Nov. 8, 2016.
Sore losers gotta suck on sour grapes; it’s just what they do. Infantile adults who never learned how to lose with dignity.
I find keeping a good supply of mace, a taser, and a firearm on me in public gives me the warm fuzzies in case one or more of these cretins decide to get more than a little frisky.
The Reality is that now nearly 90 percent of Americans accept Trump as president.
That’s higher than usual believe it or not.
It’s just the 10 percent have big ####ing mouths.
There will be no civil war here as 9 to 1 odds are pretty bad.
Besides, what are NY (where i live) and CA gonna do? Fight till they meet in the middle?
We won’t get past ohio :)
It’s NYC and the denizens of that area have NEVER believed that going past the Hudson River was worth it. ;^)
ROFL!! I’m not fighting for the yankees!!!
Couch is too comfy :)
Soros is behind this.
He needs a good droning.
France and much of Europe may need a Civil War. Is it really a Civil war if they are fighting Muslim invaders?
Time to pull the guillotines from cold storage...

Lyrics
I love Paris in the spring time
I love Paris in the fall
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles
I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles
I love Paris every moment
Every moment of the year
I love Paris
Why oh why do I love Paris
Because my love is here
When in the past 225+ years has France not been in a climate of near civil war?
I would say we have been here since 2008
NY wouldn’t clear PA. One description of PA is Pittsburgh and Philly separated by Alabama. There are a zillion scoped deer rifles in “Alabama”. Well over half a million deer hunters estimated last year.

Interesting international reflection of what is going on here.
Far Right...there is that obligatory adjective again
I’m not sure what the outcome would be if the scoped deer hunters went up against the tactical gear queers (like myself), but I have a scoped 30/30 too.
I suspect the Fudds and Rambos would clean house against the masked thugs. They have more success tipping over trash cans and assaulting unarmed taxpayers.
“Ever notice when our side wins or gets close, its near civil war, anarchy, fascism, etc.”
She’s hardly ‘our side’, she’s just less globalist than the rest.
Exactly
“scoped 30-30”? good for short range shooting.
Marine Le Pen = Joan of Arc.
Bless and protect her against the savages who
wish to conquer France for the Islamic Hegemon Caliphate.
