“Necessary to defend freedom”: French protesters march against far-right in Paris

- Protesters gathered in Paris on Saturday to demonstrate against the far-right National Rally's (RN) surge in last Sunday's European elections. As many as 100,000 people were expected to turn out at the march, police said.
President Emmanuel Macron called a snap legislative election after his centrist alliance was trounced by the RN in the ballot. A first series of opinion polls have projected that the RN could win the legislative election and be in a position to run the government.
"It is necessary to defend freedom. Freedom, we can defend it. And in 1793, lots of French people defended it, they died for this freedom. Today, what do people want? I don't know why they vote, they prefer the extreme right, fascism,” one protester said.
On Thursday, political parties representing the French left-wing said they had reached an agreement to form a 'popular front' to contest the snap parliamentary election, which will be held over the coming month in two rounds on June 30 and July 7.

Being heterosexual and against mass immigration doesn’t make you extremist.
10+ years of legacy media indoctrination has made it so. History is just His-story after all and they write the stories. 20 years from now we’ll look back and see every single outlet across the West call what we see and know are just aggravated citizens as “far right extremists.
No, it just makes you xenophobic, based usually on false information and propaganda. Forcing others to be heterosexual or to conform to one's beliefs and morality does make one an extremist...
@@craigtucker1290so you’re an extremist.
@@craigtucker1290 That version doesn't work anymore - the sector most vehemently opposed to unchecked, un-resourced and unsanctioned immigration is often immigrant-based. That you equate being heterosexual with ' forcing others to be heterosexual or to conform to one's beliefs and morality ' , speaks volumes. Seek help for your condition.

"Far-Right" AKA anyone who dares to disagree with the far-left islamofascists.
Perhaps your beret is too tight
@@jimmyarbutus2555 Perhaps your beret is too bright
As soon as you categorize your political opposition as "islamofascists," you undermine any claim you may make to an informed opinion. BTW I suggest looking up the definition of "fascism." It's the opposite of what leftists believe.
Imagine being scared of a race and thinking you're not far right
Got to love the word salads of the ignorant.
"Far right" means anyone to the right of the far left.
that's a strawman fallacy… that you think that it's okay to resort to such tactics clearly illustrates why the far right should be opposed and properly defeated by the vote of the people… truth needs no such artifice…
@@christopher.stewart It's not a strawman - it's an observation.
I'm right-leaning, and I don't care if people have a problem with that. But - I have a friend who is as liberal as it gets, and he's been called "far right extremist" because he thought Drag Queens shouldn't strip in front of children. (and he's Liberal enough that he uses their pronouns, believes they deserve rights and everything, tries not to offend anyone on and offline, and was STILL labeled as "far right extremist")
@@midnightcoffee6463 as if one anecdotal event could justify such a gross misrepresentation…
being right-leaning is not a problem in itself, but trying to blur distinctions and to misrepresent opponents' positions is certainly problematic, and should be called out and opposed… the original comment is a strawman fallacy which caricatures the position of the protesters, and as such tries to make it appear as if the actuality of the rise of fascism, not only in France but globally, is nothing but a misperception on the part of some people on the left… yet, for one, that more and more people, especially on social media, resort to tactics that come straight out of the fascist playbook, such as intimidation and personal attacks and generally trying to destroy truth, for instance through blurring lines and confusing matters, is a measurable reality…
They are not French
Just like the mass student protests were mostly Palestinians not students. But the media is paid to state the opposite of the facts so that is what they are doing.
The commies are nervous.
They are well funded commies .
Look at the history of the Twentieth Century. If this political situation makes them nervous, they have plenty of precedent for it.
No. The socialist nazis are nervous
Propaganda media. Don't waste your time.
...you appear to have wasted a lot of time here
Unfortunately for you, no. Canadian media is regulated, despite what you may believe or have been indoctrinated to believe. While it is allowed to be biased, which it is, you seem to conflate bias to mean the same thing as lying, which it isn't.
Perhaps you should read the CRTC regulations sometime...
You didn't have to announce that we see it in their title, i'm sure most people here went straight to the comments, i sure did.

What reality? The rose-tinted one the left live in?
Just because you disagree on a few things doesn’t mean they’re “extreme, far-anything, fascists.”
Democracy is the people’s elect. So…they were elected, right?
Far right. lol. You just have to listen to how they phrase it... they call it "our" democracy, as in whoever agrees with them, they are included, but those with different ideas, democracy is not for them.
Legacy media at it's finest
Fearmongering about Immigrants and Minorities as well as cozying up Russia are pretty sure signs your Far Right combine that with Dehumanizing rhetoric directed at your opponents and claims of a restoration of a mythic past that would fit Fascism or be Fascist adjacent.
They don't "disagree on some things" that are insignificant. Do some research on what the far right in Europe believe. And then maybe look at how the Nazi's rose to power (here's a preview: they were elected).
So was a certain mustache man
If you express concerns about immigration control in your country, you are often labeled as a far-right extremist and a racist. This tactic is used to silence dissenting opinions.
Exactly
💯‼️
Concerns about how to support Immigrants is perfectly fine, Fearmongering and Dehumanizing them and Minorities in general will get you called that unless you live in a echo chamber that pretends the "Left" thinks expressing concerns makes you Fash.
Yes, they throw every negative label but they negate all that is wrong with their actions and ideals. The idea that your government owes you a money in your pocket, a roof over head, a meal every day as you while away your life is ridiculous. That lifestyle requires a a big number of tax payers to support your lazy lifestyle and at the moment that tax payers base is weak and at the risk of collapsing under the weight of all the moochers who want something for nothing.

Pretty much all the West's major problems are due to Immigration. But the oligarchs love it because it floods the labor force with cheap foreign labor, keeping wages down while simultaneously boosting consumption. It's win-win for the oligarchs like the Westons, McCains, Irving, Rogers, etc.

Big scary words to get the sheep back in line
They're not "far right" they're barely centrists.
I'm called far right by lefties. I did the political Compass test and got 1/10 on the right wing spectrum.
The calls by Le Pen for French "cultural purity," and targeting immigrants as scapegoats for France's ills, are warning echoes of how other nationalist movements started. We have no few unpleasant examples of where they ended.
@@danieldickson8591 🙄 yawn
Come now, we're talking about people who think that big government and state control are "right wing", despite every actual right-winger out there wanting a smaller government and more personal freedoms.
It's just too much for them to accept that communism, socialism, syndicalism, fascism and national socialism are all sister ideologies of the left.
So you believe a party founded and lead by a Holocaust denier and an ex waffen ss officer is centrist?
Of course paris is the one to do this 😂 Paris is the laughing stock of France.
London is the laughing stock of Britain. Washington is the laughing stock of the United States. Everyone wants to laugh at what's powerful in their country, but that doesn't make what happens there any less important.
These days anything to the right of Fidel Castro is "far right".
Fidel Castro was loved by his people
@StolenPw
That "love" for Fidel Castro was out of fear though and not respect nor admiration. If one decides to go against him, then that person faces persecution and jail time. Look at Cuba today and tell me it is a good country with a straight face
@@StolenPwhahahahaha. You've never met a Cuban who got out. They don't love him at all, the ones that do are loyalists and sell out their own family members. You know what Fidel did to someone family if he found out they were trying to leave?

Exactly. People have to stand up for what they believe in. And peaceful protest is a cornerstone of a free society.
Freedom costs a buck o' five. If you don't pay your buck o' five, who will?
@@Nothing-fp7jg Protest is indeed a cornerstone of a free society.
But protesting week-old election results (!) is _une chose totalement insensée à faire._
It's disturbing to see insurrection being launched all across the EU as left wing politicians refuse to accept the results of free and fair elections.
Far wrong is much worse
Isnt "extreme right" Anarchy? Right wants small localized government, far right wants no government. The farther left you go the less rights you have and government has all power
It is refreshing to see someone who understands this.
Historically, "far-right politics" has been used to describe the experiences of fascism, Nazism, and Falangism. Contemporary definitions now include neo-fascism, neo-Nazism, the Third Position, the alt-right, racial supremacism and other ideologies or organizations that feature aspects of authoritarian, ultra-nationalist, chauvinist, xenophobic, theocratic, racist, homophobic, transphobic, or reactionary views.
It’s as if entitlement from elites who operate on Marxist ideology can’t figure out why they are so disliked by so many.
Can I recommend actually reading some history of politics? Also, who do you think steps into the power vacuum if governments withdraw? If you know anything about the history of the past 200 years, you'll see that it's corporations and the mega wealthy, and that does not go well for the rest of us.
That's not to say that government is the answer to everything and that there aren't bad governments, but the idea that government as a general idea is the problem is incredibly naive, unless you're mega rich.
the mega wealthy and corporate goons are in bed with a corrupt and non accountable government.
These people aren't the kind that would defend their homelands from the foreigner. They're lying to themselves when they make comparisons to WW2, they're the kind who would collaborate.

food problems in Europe
The historical and political ignorance of these people is frankly depressing.
The problem that is happening in France and the issue that affects all countries is the fact that those who consider themselves, “progressives” and “liberals” are neither. The fact that peoples history of their own country and cultural identity has been greatly sabotaged by not being taught or distorted, allows the autocrats under the guise of a false liberalism to take control over the country and then surrendering control of those countries to supranational organizations. This creates pseudo-empires with unelected and unaccountable governments that do not care about the people, only power, control and their own agendas.
The media as a whole, has failed its duty in calling out these bad actors and are predominately complicit in the efforts to tear down their own countries by either controlling what the journalist can say and/or has a culture of uniformity instead of critical and diverse opinions.
This is a culture war, such that the enemy of culture has infiltrated and occupied, every institution and without correction civilization will collapse on itself while being invaded from outside forces. This draws parallels from ‘the bronze age collapse’ and ‘the fall of theRoman Empire’. I wish I mean every country is currently interdependent to be able to stand on its own. And western civilization is being invaded again from the east following year identical strategies of r*ping, m*rdering, stealing and replacing of the local population. You just have to look at crime statistics to prove the point.
