La Droite avec Marion ….. The right Marion …. Le-Pens at war? not good for France

Out with the old, in with the new, maybe in with the newer as the Le-Pens of France don’t always see eye to eye.

The famous old man of the far right who found and led the Front National until taken over by his daughter Marine a few years ago.

Politically more astute and understanding better than the old fellow, the importance of image and reasoned argument, she is a trained lawyer after all.
She has brought the party new adherents and has managed fairly well.  That’s not to say we can see her party running France very soon but then in politics and the unhappiness in France among many, who knows.  Even the left wing who voted in a socialist pm are not happy but that won’t win her any votes anyway.

But waiting in the wings is another Le-Pen, another blonde with ambition and a brain.  Marine is the aunt of 25 year old Marion Maréchal-Le Pen: Third-Generation Extreme-Right Militant. Here they are together in photo if not policy.

Now grandaddy Le-Pen had made few friends because for example, he rather favored the German occupation as he thought the country was being run by Communists anyway.
But to tell you the truth, I like the old geezer for a few other things.  He just plain says out loud what many think anyway. Which is not always good politics. Is it?  For example ...

Daughter Marine has distanced herself from the father who still admires the wartime occupation and she disowns him openly when he reverts to the old sulphur, as he did this summer when he suggested that, disease was a remedy for African immigration to France. “Monsieur Ebola can solve the problem in three months,” he said.
I like him for saying that.  France is already buried up to it’s eyeballs in foreigners who bring disease with them, along with with their criminal behavior.
Like they do here in the UK. Anyway ...

He has also taken issue with daughter Marine’s plans for rebranding the party, with the aim of dropping the “Front” label, which conjures up brown shirts and stiff-armed salutes. “Only bankrupt companies change their names. That would be betraying the militants who built the movement,” Jean-Marie said this month.  But the truth of today is you just can’t say the things I approve of and write , when when you’re trying to bring ppl together and form a viable political party that will not be seen as a far right threat to freedom.

So now enter the very lovely French version of her Blondness, Ann Coulter. Maybe not quite as much like Coulter to say they’re the same, but close when you know the French don’t have anyone close to that.
She is Marion Maréchal-Le Pen, and is the niece of the current party leader Marine Le-Pen.  Marion is not a moderate.
She supports her grandaddy full stop, has no trust in what are called “moderate” muslims and doesn’t really believe any exist.  Her outspoken attitude has been, yes. I can hear what they say in public.  But I think they speak differently in private. 

Another difference between her aunt Marine and herself is, she is opposed to homosexual marriage, Aunt Marine tolerates it.  Lets not confuse tolerate with agreement but the two are opposite there as well.

Marion Maréchal-Le Pen: The poster-girl of the French far-right is more extreme than her aunt and bigger box office than her grandfather
As France goes to the polls, Marine Le Pen’s party, the Front National, looks set to do well. And key to that rise has been Le Pen’s fiery niece Marion, the FN’s rising star.
She has been a French MP for three years. She is 25.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
