Marine Le Pen France riots April

by Flint: Marine Le Pen

France votes in April and that specific timing explains why Marine Le Pen is surging. The riots breaking out across the country aren't student-led chaos but organized efforts funded by leftist and Islamist groups. Right-wing presidential candidate Marine Le Pen promised a strict law and order response to shield citizens from far-left violence while removing Macronist policies she calls toxic. She declared we will free them from those toxic policies and protect them from the violence of the far left. Her polling numbers have jumped following the outbreak since these specific ideological groups are behind everything. The election schedule creates the perfect storm for her rising support as people react to the unrest.
