Front National overwhelmed by public supportBy JOHN LEICESTER PARIS French far-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen claimed Wednesday his National Front party has been “submerged” with prospective members and supportive e-mail since rioting erupted in heavily immigrant communities near Paris. In an interview with The Associated Press, Le Pen described the recent violence as “just the start” of conflicts caused by “massive immigration from countries of the Third World that is threatening not just France but the whole continent.” Le Pen said people with immigrant backgrounds who commit crimes should be stripped of their French nationality and sent “back to their country of origin.” Reminded that the vast majority of youths taking part in the arson and rioting are French, born in France to immigrant parents, he said: “What does that mean? Are they French because they have a French identity card?” French nationality should be given only to those who ask for it and “who are worthy of it,” he said. “Those who got nationality automatically, who don’t consider themselves French and who even say publicly that they consider France their enemy should not be treated as French.” Le Pen said he is convinced that what he described as a surge in support for his “zero immigration” platform would translate into votes at the ballot box for his National Front party. French voters “are saying to themselves ‘Le Pen was right. We were told that Le Pen is an extremist because he said that immigration problems would lead to disorder. The facts have shown that he was right,’” he said. “We are receiving thousands of new members, tens of thousands of e- mails. All of our offices are submerged, we don’t know how to respond because we don’t have the staff to reply to the wave of people who, 95 percent of them, salute and approve our positions,” he added. Le Pen gave no specifics on the number of new members, but the party’s top official for new memberships said the figure was closer to 1,000 and that they were requests to join. Le Pen stunned many in France and shocked Europe by making it through to the second round of the last presidential elections in 2002. But he was soundly defeated in a runoff against President Jacques Chirac. Le Pen said he is “more than ever” determined to run again in 2007. “If there were presidential elections now, my chances would be increased tenfold,” he said.

Posted by Al Ross on November 09, 2005, 07:41 PM | # It might be timely for France to consider the adoption of a new national motto to replace the tired old ‘Liberty,Equality,Fraternity’ idiocy. If so,the great Balzac can provide it: ” Equality may perhaps be right, but no power on earth can turn it into a fact”. What is lost in snappiness is gained in sagacity. 7
Posted by Phil on November 09, 2005, 07:52 PM | # My only concern is that Le Pen will be 77 when he runs in 2007. Front National will need a generation of younger leaders to take over the reigns from the septuagenarian. 8

Posted by Fred Scrooby on November 10, 2005, 01:55 AM | # “But during all the coverage of the riots, did you ever hear about Jean-Claude Irvoas? The same day that the two youths electrocuted themselves, Mr. Irvoas (51) got out of his car to take a photo. Instead, he was set upon by three arabs and beaten to death while his wife and daughter—both still in the car—could only look on in horror. Nobody rioted for him. [...] What brings my [boiling] blood to near-evaporation state is that neither he nor his family qualify as victims—they are “victims”—hyphenated people who apparently had it coming since they werent black or Moslem.” Thanks for posting that link, Matra. Incidentally, thank God Irvoas’ wife and daughter weren’t next. In a Negro riot in any U.S. city they would have been taken out of the car and beaten to death as well. Moratorium-plus-Repatriation! 12

Posted by Fred Scrooby on November 10, 2005, 02:30 AM | # Good point, Matra. By the way, I hope everyone’s seen this and this over at Vdare.com. Hey just checking (I know how mad everyone would be if they missed either of these incredible gems).______ Moratorium-plus-Repatriation! 14
Posted by WJG on November 10, 2005, 04:45 PM | # Le Pen says: “What does that mean? Are they French because they have a French identity card?” Wow. Is the spirit of Charles Martel again welling in the breast of Frenchmen? I hope so. Vive Le Pen. 15
Posted by Svigor on November 10, 2005, 05:49 PM | # Interesting how Midol came in here and proclaimed that the rioters were mostly-white, isn’t it? It’s especially so since the main explanation for the riots coming from the press seems to be “French racism.” Hmmmmm. Got a bridge to sell us too, Midol? 16
Posted by friedrich braun on November 10, 2005, 06:27 PM | # It appears that Le Pen is also aware of the JQ: But in his more relaxed moments, Le Pen’s views become far more extreme. He is an equal-opportunity anti-semite. Le Pen despises both Arabs and Jews. Le Pen told me, `Jews have conspired to rule the world through their power over international finance. They are using their influence over government and media to promote mixture with lesser races and corrupt the purity of Europe’s blood,’ claimed Le Pen. `The Jews created communism and tried to use it as a means of world domination.’ Today, `the Jewish conspiracy’ is using race rather than communism to advance its goals.’ 17
Posted by friedrich braun on November 10, 2005, 06:29 PM | # Today, `the Jewish conspiracy’ is using race rather than communism to advance its goals.’ Wow! The old warrior can certainly pack a punch! I challenge anyone here to disagree with the above succinct encapsulation of the post-War II Jewish Problem. 18
Posted by WJG on November 10, 2005, 06:53 PM | # FB, Le Pen does have some stones. Expect the ‘international community’ to continue to do anything to bring this patriot down. There’ll be a man on Mars before the Chosen Ones consent to a white nation being free from their dominion. 19
Posted by ed on April 24, 2006, 08:19 AM | # It is a mix of laugh and anxiety when I see my country France invaded by more and more immigrants and going though increasing trouble and recently riots. French presidents have just been sitting around in the last 20 years saying immigration will work. Now we have huge ghettos of north africans (algerians and maroccans mainly), unemployment, etc the perfect breed for more future riots and a problematic society! 20

Posted by Steve Edwards on April 24, 2006, 01:30 PM | # Which is probably why the neo-cons hate France so much. It ain’t about Iraq - it’s about France’s stubborn insistance on survival. 22
Posted by EV, EF, ER on April 24, 2006, 03:20 PM | # It can be said this: For any world leader that the neocons “like”, one will find that personage’s nation knowingly or (more commonly) unknowingly subservient to the neocons and their agenda of global hegemony. If your nation or head isn’t disliked by neocons and the target of subversion efforts and regular criticism from the NY Times, Weekly Standard or the WSJ Opinion Column, then your nation is either totally inconsequential or already performing to their specifications.

I hope they won’t join the Front National and then forget about immigration between now and election time, deciding at the last minute to vote for someone more “mainstream,” as many of them typically do. I hope they’ll have learned their lesson from these riots, and will stay with Le Pen’s party permanently. There’s little doubt but that there’ll be no rioting during the six months preceding the election—the French Moslem leaders aren’t stupid—and a real chance, therefore, that the voters, who have short attention-spans in France as they do in every democracy, will cast their votes for someone “less extremist” (according to their way of thinking).
