Tausende demonstrieren in ganz Frankreich gegen die extreme Rechte

1. Probably should have just voted instead.

2. Cool. Multiple Palestinian flags at a rally about French elections. As if the Sharia simping wasn’t the whole reason the opposition won.

3. Lol I like how the Left doesn’t have a “far Left” and instead has “ultra-left movements”.

4. But, democracy?

5. The voting took place yesterday

6. Something about this right after elections seems silly.

   Unless they’re planning for violent demonstrations (the kind of thing those far right types like to do) then showing up en mass like this carries a tacit admission that either there’s more of them than there are of you, or, if there’s more of you than them, why the hell didn’t you just vote?

7. Is this what democracy looks like now? The election aftermath tells a different tale

8. Demonstrate against the free election? Sounds like facism to me

9. Peaceful protest is the sign of a healthy democracy.

10. I have no idea of they are actually “right” or “far right”, but I haven’t seen any references to anything but “far right” on Reddit. If everyone is an extremist no one is an extremist. 

11. In democracies people are free to vote as they choose.

    And to demonstrate peacefully of course.

    Maybe there is a majority of people who appreciate what the “far right” are talking about. Or maybe these very same demonstrators should go and also vote.

12. Yeah, ‘thousands’ sounds about the right number when ‘millions’ voted the other side

13. I mean, I doubt waving Palestine flags is going to change the mind of those who voted far right or would they prefer less democratic elections?

14. Ignoring the reality has led us to this point. The left should understand – most people applying for asylum are not fleeing from their government they are abusing the system for economic immigration which should be a privilege not a right. It is not “cultural difference” when someone says beating their wives is fine or supporting sharia laws.

    Accept the reality. IDF is bad but Hamas is 100 times worse. Don’t become a pawn to Iranian propaganda machine.

    People do not like most of the right wing ideologies, however left’s failure to accept the reality is making them popular.

15. Far right supporters are silent. You can protest but reality is RW is on rise in Europe and the results speak for themselves.

    And once they have power you will see those on streets and then LW will be silent. Thats how this cycle works. Once enough people get affected by politics of the day and that will always happen as it’s not possible to take all people together. There will always be some who will be left behind and they will support other side of political spectrum and the cycle repeats.

16. Thousands… Yeah, that sounds about right, I mean that’s about the same amount of votes that voted against le Penn. Democracy works that way

17. By waving Palestinian flags, they are actually protesting FOR the far right in the Middle East. The Palestinian cause is a far right movement that seeks to establish an extreme right wing Islamic theocracy. It makes zero sense for anyone on the left to support that far right movement.

18. Headline should read “Thousands demonstrate against Democracy “. Why don’t you report Far left riot and destroy business?

19. Far right my backside they just want their country back they along with all of Europe have had enough of the 3rd world immigrants flooding into their countries destroying their economies….Enough is Enough

20. “Hyperbole”

    An under used term in recent politics.

    Everyone screams “the other side are Nazi’s” like it has meaning after so much use.

    Try reaching out. Helping each other.

21. Not sure that destroying business like at Angers or Bordeaux, or taking down French flags to burn them will give them much sympathy.

22. Its all the left seems to be able to do: complain

23. Protests are becoming increasingly ineffective as we move into the 21st century.

24. Why is there always a Palestine flag in every protest? Like what’s even the connection isn’t it about internal politics?

    Doesn’t it dilute the cause? It really feels like it’s trendy at this point.

25. Protesting and rioting are the French national pastimes.

26. Maybe don’t continue with mass immigration with people that don’t want to assimilate?

27. I love how everyone is hyperfocusing on France and ignoring the bigger picture when it comes to these EU elections (and that is that right-wing and far-right factions gained like 13 seats overall). It’s less of a “sweep” than the 2022 midterms, and considering how that went, that’s saying a lot.

    Heck, if we go so far as to put all the reactionaries in one group – ECR, ID, GUE/NGL (far-left), and Non-Inscrits which have a lot of reactionary parties – they only amount to 29% of the total seats in the EU Parliament, while the rest are held by the moderate factions.

    But I guess Reddit is just full of folks who prefer to see things “glass half empty” way.

28. I love how a majority opionion is considered far right lol.

29. Do want to say, everyone remember the Far-Right lady Macron was running against – Le Pen – and how her party rhetoric was the same as Russian rhetoric? Gee. And how Russian apparently gave her party a loan?

30. .. and apparently not enough of them came out to vote, or they are just a vocal minority. So which way it is?

31. Idk… I think this “protest” might be reaffirming the reason people voted the way they did

32. Those 15-20 years old kids are waving palestine flags and call the right uneducated rednecks.They need to finish school at first.

33. Yeah let’s violently riot in the streets, vandalise property and wave our Hamas flags around, that’ll help the left winG cause!

34. Should have fucking voted
