When will we learn from history?
So, the Front National has won the European elections in France with about 25%. It means that about a quarter of French people have supported that specific party. It could be even more, because approximately 50% of the population didn’t even bother to vote. So a big thanks to all those who couldn’t be bothered.
At least, the National Front didn’t come first in Guingamp nor in Pabu where we live. In Pabu, they come 5th, but that’s still 109 people who voted for their list.
