Marine Le Pen, the leader of the populist-right National Rally, has been cleared by a court to run in France’s next election. Latest polling makes her the favourite to win in 2027.
The economist still states that governments matter. Just realize that we a lot of the people (not from the masses) already know that the world is no longer ruled by governments but by big tech billionaires from companies like Palantir and SpaceX and so on. 🙏🏻💫
Well, but Paris isn't the 1898 France that promotes the Versailles Agreement between Spain and USA to prevent Spanish Canary islands US annexation, next to French Morocco colonialist domain in risk by this US actions against Madrid.
Which Washington had to wait until 1942 (Torch Operation) to wrest it from Paris, thanks to French weakness due to the German invasion in 1940 to 1944.
That could be the end of French power as a rival to USA in Western Block, consolidated since 1991 with Soviet counterweight disappearance in Europe.
Also Denmark learn with US promoted Icelandic independence to enter quickly in NATO Bloc to despite preserve Danish Greenland colonial rule until Trump aspirations.
Five decades ago, France sheltered characters of the pseudo-religion which currently mis-rules Iran, menaces Israel and imperils the world with vile ideas . . . . what might they be up to now ?

It's so interesting to see how different political strategies play out across borders. Even when they seem similar on the surface, those subtle distinctions in approach can make all the difference! I wonder if this calculated distance will actually help her build more broad-based support at home? Great analysis as always, The Economist.

That power play between Le Pen and Trump is a wild game of political chicken. It's like they're both fighting for the same high score but refuse to team up. Do you think Le Pen can actually pull off the win in 2027 without an alliance, or is she playing a losing hand?
