Speaking out against uncontrolled immigration means you’re ‘far right’?

It is racist to be for your people? Your culture? And a safe society?

The turning point was the migrant riots of 2 years ago. Seeing those who France had welcomed into their lands as equals going out and stealing, looting and destroying the towns they shared without shame was a bitter pill to swallow.

Far right???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 No, just patriotic French citizens who want their country back

Seemingly, France is just as divided, and as discontented, as the UK.

The French people are tired of seeing the decline of their country going on for decades. Now the French people are reclaiming their country and dignity.

According to British media everyone is far right

VIVA La France!!! Get to work reversing decades of self destruction.

Immigration has little to do with it, countries that work don't obsess over it. But for as long as people receive punitive economic policies, the far right will continue to thrive
