French Election Reactions: Left Celebrates As Far Right Faces Surprise Defeat

    that s good news indeed. Yet mr Melenchon , the winner, is quite pro russian, pro hamas, pro latin america s not so democratic regimes. it remains to be seen what he will do… he and his party left parliament when Zelensky was there to speak to french MP. i am not exactly ecstatic with this left and this victory

This can vary depending of conquest, influence, ot treaties. This is more than just Islam dude. You're confusing political treaties, movements, to identity in general. Heck being seen with the opposite group was taboo ! It seems you aren't aware of hidden history. This time, it's to radically change the nations heritage an ethinic native people.

    The numbers CANNOT lie. Native births compared to immigration over time equals immigrants being greater in number. At the current rate of immigration native French are replaced over time. If you're fine with that, then say it, and stop denying basic math. Japan, China, South Korea, Vietnam, Russia, India, Poland, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania Pakistan, parts of south America, Australia, and almost all of central Asia survive with none or very little illegal immigration.
