The destruction of France's mainstream parties
Submitted by gjohnsit on Mon, 04/11/2022 - 2:00pmYesterday's presidential elections had a very disappointing outcome.
The run-off election will pit the incumbent, Emmanuel Macron, finished first, with 27.8 percent; against the far-right Rassemblement National, Marine Le Pen, with 23.1 percent.
Macron is an odious and arrogant neoliberal, while Le Pen is a xenophobic near-fascist.
