He does not speak badly of the dead. But when a racist and openly anti -Semitic political leader, which refers to Nazi gas cameras as “a detail” of history, dies, it is difficult to find something that is a child to say.
French experts are also struggling to find the right words. To avoid some of the sausages of Le Pen ‘Dérapages’ to sacrifice condolences to the family while recognizing him as a historical figure, a character larger than life, a political leader who served his country for more than 60 years. To what end? As Macron’s message suggests, the story will be the judge.
If only the movement would lead him, he would do it with him. Unfortunately, it’s alive and well, if it is slightly disinfected. His party ‘Front National’ Anti -Inmigrant cleaned his image with a change of name in 2018, with the change of brand as the so -called national manifestation and softening his position on things such as abortion and the death penalty under the leadership of his daughter Le Pen. Since he resigned as president of the party, with Jordan Bardella, like Vulcan, to the helm, the extreme right has become a little tastier and has gained ground in France. There is a terrifying trend throughout Europe: Croatia, the Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands and Slovakia have extreme right parties in their governments. Germany may not be far behind.
In a human note, Marine Le Pen apparently learned or the death of his father for journalists while on an African plane. It is said that he has shed some tears; He was his father after all. But her relationships had hit Bone when she expelled him from the party she created in 2015.
His granddaughter, Marion Maréchal, is the one that is the most. She has committed to “continue her mission.”
I cannot rejoice for anyone’s death, no matter how vile their beliefs are. I just hope that the current and future generations of French voters watch at least one eye in the past. We do not forget it.
