"Emmanuel Macron, the French president, has announced that he is dissolving the national assembly, and calling for legislative elections on June 30 and July 7.

The French president said that he can’t pretend nothing has happened, that the outcome of the EU election is not good for his government and that the rise of nationalists is a danger for France and Europe."

    Exactly. And they won’t fix immigration, they’ll just enrich themselves as much as they possibly can.

      These right wing parties need migration. Their whole existence depends on there being immigrants to blame so actually closing the borders and “sending them home” is the worst move they can make politically speaking.

        Correct, the next step in the strategy is to blame the immigration on any random external entity (cf Brexit). Eventually this may devolve into full blown war, genocides, etc etc.

        Well, you know, there’s a type of “immigration” that fascists love, and the wage cost is zero. You just have to keep the “prisoners with jobs” alive.

        not just right wing parties. every country with an aging population needs more young laborers and migrants can help.

        fascists just need someone to blame, and someone desperate to do the same work for less pay.

        No worries; foreigners, jews, blacks, arabs, and ofc the gays to start.

        There is always someone to blame for everything.
