I witnessed the Irish government’s attempt to influence the French elections on LinkedIn

  1. I agree that we can’t remember a government commenting on a ongoing election in an allied state, (didn’t even happen for the recent US election) but it’s not some Irish conspiracy.

    Portugal, Spain and Germany’s PMs have publicly called on the French to vote against Le Pen.This one hits closer to home then Trump I guess, especially in these times.

  2. Translation for non French speakers:

    I have been a member of the European Parliament for 3 years. Here is the reality of Marine Le Pen’s party through its votes in parliament

  3. well to be fair Marine Lepen being elected would be a real threat to democracy and public liberties in France but also to the EU in its current state so I don’t have a problem with this. Also they liked a post, I wouldn’t call that “influence” the election and realistically it most likely will have very minimal impact (I’m French btw)
