In the first round of voting in the 2017 French presidential election, En Marche! progressive candidate Emmanuel Macron came away with 24 percent, and the Front National's "far right" Marine Le Pen grabbed 22 percent, with 50 percent reporting. The numbers guarantee them both a spot in the runoff.
In a speech following the results, a confident Le Pen told her supporters that France's "survival" is at stake.
I'm very proud of the French for FINALLY growing a pair and standing up to Islam. Unfortunately though, the odds of Marine Le Pen winning in the second round of elections are not looking good. I'm ok with that though, the fact that she made it this far bodes well for the future of the National Front IMO. Marine Le Pen's defeat in the second round, will only make her base even more determined in the next cycle. Couple that with the inevitable additional and horrific terrorist attacks that will follow her defeat, and I expect the National Front to come back with a vengeance in the next election cycle.
