President Emmanuel Macron has urged the French to vote for pro-EU parties in Sunday’s European Parliament election to stave off the threat of “nationalists.”
The leader of the globalist-progressive La République En Marche (LREM/Republic on the Move) claimed that despite being the president, who should remain above the fray of national elections, he had to intervene because of the role he plays in bringing forth the “new stage of the European Project.”
“I cannot be a spectator, but an actor in this European election which is the most important since 1979 [when the first European Parliament elections were held] because the Union is facing an existential risk,” he said in a joint interview on Tuesday with a number of regional newspapers.

Looks like Macron is joining Merkel in the movement to disenfranchise people who oppose the globalist agenda.
I’m sure the new EU death camps will have a low carbon footprint and the ovens will be solar powered.
>>the Union is facing an existential risk
He says that like it’s a bad thing...
It starts tomorrow. Let the bodies hit the floor.
Maybe making trade easier on the European continent made sense. But craziness like mass migration from North Africa?
bad things sometimes might happen when the politicians in power are scared...
The EU wants to wipe out the individual countries. It intends to become a powerful government replacing the individual governments in the various countries. It wants the elimination of national borders and national identity. Then, by importing millions of bearded savages it hopes to wipe out completely any vestige of national identity.
EU election coming up. Hoping the Euroweenies get their derrieres kicked.
So two days back to back, first Merkel now her butt boy Macron come out to bemoan the fact that their countrymen are going to hang them.
Next up! THE RUSSIANS DID IT!
And isn’t it just a coincidence that America is being invaded as well? Could happen to anybody. Nothing to see here, move along.
That's the damn POINT!
The EU was a stupid concept and bound to fail.
It IS the "Nationalists" who want to retain their individual NATIONS, who are the "threat" to the concept of an EU.
Don’t you have an airport to clean up butt boy?
If France truly wanted to be part of a European Union, why did they resist Germany the first 2 times?
The EU: join because this time, unlike all the other times, the great powers asked nicely.
Nationalists, also known as:
The French People;
The British People;
The Polish People;
The Italian People, etc.
Keep talking that way you elitist Eurocraps!
“Maybe making trade easier on the European continent made sense. But craziness like mass migration from North Africa?”
Exactly. I served in the US Army in Germany during 1969-1970.
Upon returning to college, I wrote a graduate thesis comparing the East and West German postwar economies. Later still I worked in an international firm.
Over time I learned about the benefit of the EU, for trade. But they added more, and more bringing it to the insane policies of the present.
"the Union is facing an existential risk," he said, as he lit his cigarette on a burning car.
Thanks rktman.
Interesting. In the US the office of President encompasses being head of state and head of government.
In parliamentary systems such as England, Canada, and Australia, the Prime Minister is head of government and the head of state is the Regent or her appointed representative.
In the French situation, president seems to be head of state, but not of government.
Is this like having the King come out and endorse political parties? Tacky.
As the Muslim mobs yelled, France doesn’t belong to the French! It belongs to the EU to the autocrats of Brussels. Time to go all Charles Martel or the French will become occupied territory again. How long before German/European Troops come with machine guns to enforce order in Paris and end the Yellow Vest uprising. France—A Republic no more. If LePen isn’t elected—it will be the end of France as she once was—only to be a state in the new Muslim Europe Confederacy.
Good points — the dual role of the US President can cause confusion. When performing as Head of State (e.g. hosting state visits), the President is a living symbol of the country — and deserves at least as much respect as the flag. When acting as Head of Government, he is just another politician (albeit, the top dog), and criticism is fair game.
In Canada, Australia, and the rest of the Commonwealth Realm, outside of Britain, we have appointed representatives of the Crown — but, the Queen remains our Head of State. Some recent appointed Governors General have acted like royalty — and, have rightly been called out on it. Most of us respect the Queen (as the symbol of the country); and treat Prime Ministers as the mere politicians they are.
AFAIK, the French President has more powers than our Monarch (which, is a largely ceremonial role today). I don’t know where the French Presidency would fall, on a power spectrum, with the Crown on the low end, and the U.S. President at the other.
