I’ve been somewhat following the elections down there and in doing so listened to a few interviews of LePen (both he and his daughter Marine). Two things he said during these that struck me were ‘I may not agree with the things you say but i’ll die defending your right to say them’ and ‘government plays too large a part in the daily life of french men and women’.
Now i know that a lot of people don’t like the man for some views he may have expressed in the past but frankly I’m not so sure this guy isn’t what France needs atm..mainly a swift kick in the a$$ to get them to wake up and fight for the country.
If there were no Sarkozy in the race, Le Pen would be the only hope France has to restore the rule of law over the hoodlum class. He has been consistent in this regard for many years.
Fortunately, there IS Sarkozy in the race, so France need not cross that Rubicon, and won’t.
