Far-Right Soars in French Vote
Early results in France's local elections show the far-right Front National, headed by Marine Le Pen, winning what some in the press are calling "historic" gains in the mayorships of French towns. Its biggest victories were in Avignon and Béziers, larger cities in southern France, and the FN nearly took an absolute majority in the northern town of Hénin-Beaumont. Le Pen said the election was exceptional her party, which has made a strenuous effort to shed its associations with fascism, collaborationism, and anti-Semitism and appear a moderate alternative to France's major parties. "The Front National has arrived as a major independent force," Le Pen said Sunday.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Hollande is being regarded as one of the most incompetent Presidents France ever had. His stupid reforms, such as the 75% income tax have destroyed the French economy. No wonder that the FN is gaining votes.

It is really shocking that French people pay an income tax of 75%. I did know that taxes in France were extraordinarily high, but had no idea that they were this high! In India where I live, the richest people pay only 30% as tax, and the poorer people are taxed much less. No wonder a lot of French people who become rich choose to move elsewhere!
