France on Sunday took a step closer to delivering what was once seen as an unthinkable nightmare: a far-right government taking power in Paris for the first time.
Marine Le Pen’s National Rally made big gains in the first round of a snap election that could upend political orthodoxy across Europe and beyond, with implications for markets and global security that will be hard to predict.
Today's election is laying the groundwork for what is coming!
"France is in the throes of a violent rebirth - we should rejoice!"

I understand the rightists cackling with glee over their victory, but this nonsense about "for the first time" I don't comprehend.
If the 1958 takeover wasn't "far right", it's hard to imagine what would be.

Only if you have the de Gaulle to say so.

If de Gaulle was far right, I guess that explains his repeated attempts to save the UK from the clutches of the EUSSR.

GREAT NEWS!
The Austro-Hungarians are putting the band back together!
The populist right in Austria, Hungary, and Czechia have formed a transnational political alliance called "Patriots for Europe."
Hungarian, Czech and Austrian parties have created the Patriots for Europe grouping, which aims to secure more influence for right-leaning and far-right parties in the new European Parliament.
