Former French President François Hollande said he will run as a candidate in the snap legislative elections after throwing his support behind the far-left-led “New Popular Front” alliance.

Seven years after leaving office from a presidency mired by Islamic terrorism and economic hardship, François Hollande has returned to the frontlines of French politics, throwing his hat in the ring to once again serve as a deputy in the National Assembly.

Hollande, a longtime member of the Socialist Party, was nominated by the leftist party to represent the so-called “New Popular Front” in the constituency of Corrèze, Le Figaro reports. “In an exceptional situation, I had to make an exceptional decision,” Hollande said on Saturday, adding: “If I made this decision, it is because I felt that the situation was serious.

The Communists and Socialists in France ran as part of a “Popular Front” in 1936 winning the election that year.

They are tying to bring back the ‘glory days’ of the 1930’s.

When this retard left office he had a 7 percent approval rating.

Maybe this is his sabotage strategy against the Left.

Europeans are push overs until they’re not. Hopefully a reckoning is coming. It will be a great day for humanity when those responsible for the cultural destruction of Europe are executed in the public square and the continent is purged of the invaders determined to force them into submission.
