French President Emmanuel Macron may have won a law on immigration, but has he lost his soul?
The accusation is being made at after a dramatic day in French politics which saw the presidential party given what one newspaper called the "kiss of death" by Marine Le Pen'shard right.
Unable to steer its original version of the immigration reform through parliament, the government had to accept a number of tougher changes forced on it by the mainstream right.
It was that or admit to legislative incapacity on an issue that French voters all say is close to their hearts.
Swallowing the harder-line version of the immigration law was bad enough for many in President Macron's centrist Renaissance party and its allies.
What became unendurable was the coup pulled by Ms Le Pen as the vote in the National Assembly approached on Tuesday afternoon.
Out of the blue she announced that the toughened-up version of the law was now, thanks, she said, to the pressure of her 88 deputies, quite satisfactory.
More than that, she claimed it was an "ideological victory" because for the first time an immigration law would recognise the principle of "national preference" - long a cherished goal of her National Rally party.

Post & comment BUMP! Citizens of GOVERNMENTS are concerned about INVADERS.
Hordes of them by boat or at the border and if you look at the videos carefully NO kids, women etc.
The West is being destroyed by mass immigration. This is being pushed by Obama one-world types. Will the middle class wake up in time to stop it? Or is it already too late?
It is becoming overwhelming but as you say it’s by design
Sink the boats.
I suppose this is good news. But it’s way too little, way too late. Bad times are ahead for the entire West, including the United States.
At this point, it’s unavoidable. And if I had to place my bets now, I’d bet on Western civilization to lose. After all, one wolf can easily tear apart five sheep.
Sorry for the pessimism.🙁
“Camp of the Saints” by Jean Raspail.
France was once known as Gaul, a province of the Roman Empire. That’s because the people who lived there were called Gauls. Today it is France, because in the latter 4th Century a Germanic tribe, the Franks, were allowed to cross the Rhine and settle in Gaul. They displaced the Gauls and renamed the place France. The descendants of the Franks have become today’s Gauls.
‘The far right is now in power’: French media blast tough immigration law
My faith keeps me from pessimism.
Truth is anathema to the corrupt Establishment the world over and especially in the USA.
Contempt for Truth is the evil most fundamental to the Decadence of Western Civilization, including its evil manifestation in America, viz. the Democrat Party, the Party of Hate and Evil.
Truth is heresy to the evil Democrat Party and the evil woke/"liberal"/"progressive" movement that is rapidly destroying the USA.
“Truth is anathema to the corrupt Establishment”
Baseless allegations!
(Say it in a deep stentorian voice like Moses on the Mount)
The west, USA and Europe, must change and change fast. It will in a painful way—the birth pains of a New Europe, a new West. It is coming and will with great speed. It has happened before in 1848 and in the 1920s and 1930s. Neo-Fascist are coming. People mix up dictatorship and Fascism—They are not the same. In a dictatorship a small group rules and demands you don’t do anything to oppose their rule. Some even let you tell jokes and go about your business—as long as you pay your taxes and go to work each day. Fascism demand you take part, Join groups, march in the many parades, force all to be part of the “Movement”—targeting “enemies of the People.” All must take part. Great things can be done my fascists (that’s what makes them dangerous).
Right, Left, is really not the question. All must be for “The State” and the ruling class. No one can be permitted to just go about their business. The words you use, the way you dress, the church you attend—all must be approved by the state. You can always identify fascists—they have one leader—called “The Leader.” The Good news is they do not last much longer than the Leader—when he dies—its done. People point to Hitler, but he was just the worst example of the system—better to look at Franco in Spain or Evita and Juan Peron in Argentina. I believe a new breed of Fascists are on the way as things go bad in the West. Heaven help us.
“I believe a new breed of Fascists are on the way as things go bad in the West”
They’re already here.
In my lifetime I have never seen things like what is happening now.
You can’t criticize a clearly fraudulent election? They use the FBI, the so-called legal system to shut down any dissent?
Tell it to Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin. I mean, where’s Judge Julius when you wanna make fun of the system?
But it’s not really just Fascism. You are also falling into the trap of ignoring the Communist movement which demanded far greater loyalty to the stupid pronouncements of The State. By far, Stalin’s Soviet Union and Mao’s People’s Republic were ten times worse: the body count made Hitler look like a nowhere piker.
The irony of the French being a Germanic people.
