The other “left” candidate is Sophia Chikirou, an extremist tankie.

• Jokes that homosexuals are scum

• Paid tribute to the leader of Hamas

• Attends meeting with supporters of Putin

• Says China isn’t a dictatorship

On top of that, she is facing a criminal trial for financial fraud.

Unfortunately, she could tank Emmanuel Gregoire’s candidacy.

A major Italian newspaper, La Stampa, was recently stormed and vandalized:

I’m all for defending palestinians rights, but she is clearly unhinged.

France right now is like a powder keg

This far-right activist was beaten by a street group calling themselves the Young Guards (“Le Jeune Gardes”). What makes this case dangerous is that Raphael Arnault, leader of Young Guards, is also a famous French MP.

He is part of a left-wing party calling themselves the France Rebellion (“France Insoumise”).

Raphael Arnault has been involved in street fights with Young Guards against Lepen supporters. He was even sentenced to jail by a judge. However, his political party always defended him, despite his criminal conviction.

Now, the France Rebellion party is getting blamed for this death. And they are facing massive calls for physical retribution.

Things could really get out of control.

Let’s hope that cool heads prevail.
