France's new presidential election has begun, and the current French President Macron has a support rate of 27.6%, while the support of the far-right party candidate Le Pen is also as high as 23.41%, reproducing the glue war situation 5 years ago. However, 5 years later, France and the world have long been turned upside down, nationalist sentiment is high, the economic crisis is about to erupt, and a situation of "mountains and rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings", Le Pen, known as the "dangerous woman of France", seems to have the intention of pulling Macron down.
Macron and Le Pen
Le Pen, the leader of France's far-right National Front, known as "Female Trump," has publicly claimed that if she is elected, she will leave the European Union, ban the circulation of the euro in France, and raise tariffs; at the same time, it will vigorously crack down on immigration, which has led a large number of white French people to turn to support Le Pen. France is currently one of the countries with the largest number of immigrants in Europe, with a native population of more than 68 million, immigrants about 6.5 million, accounting for 9.5%, of which more than 45% are African immigrants, they are the highest crime rate, poverty rate, fertility rate in France, far more than the French white.

France's president serves a five-year term and can be re-elected, but since the 2009 European debt crisis, no French president has been re-elected, and when former President Hollande went down, his approval rating was only 4%. France implements a semi-presidential system, and presidential candidates who get more than 50% of the votes are directly elected, otherwise the two with the highest support rate will enter the second round of PK. All along, France's presidential election has been a duel between the Socialist Party on the left and the Republican Party on the right. In 2017, Macron turned out to be a "no left, no right" position, successfully counterattacked with a young image, and was elected at the age of 40, becoming the youngest president in France's history.

Just as much attention as Macron is this le huge mother. But unlike Macron playing Tai Chi and not being guilty, Le Pen has made it clear that he has taken a "far-right position": banning immigration, withdrawing from the European Union, raising tariffs, and fighting wars, which have made many traditional French white groups who are dissatisfied with the welfare of immigrants very excited, and these people have become loyal fans of Le Pen.

The German government is not short of money, the British government is still passable, and the biggest problem of the French government is the lack of money. When the French government reached Macron, it was almost impossible to open the pot, but the French were spoiled by high welfare. Wool out of the sheep, Macron government as soon as he took office to raise taxes, fuel tax soared, so that the French transport industry, which was already heavily taxed, made worse, in 2018, the outbreak of the "yellow vest movement", and later encountered the epidemic, the tax increase plan was in vain.

Macron did not dare to shoot at the rich French, after all, he himself is an elite class, can not eat the big households, so he borrowed, the French government's debt was once as high as 120% of GDP, no doubt to quench the thirst. How can it be returned? Macron did not give a countermeasure, the mess was still thrown to the president behind to clean up, and Bush Jr. called out to the insider.

After five years of hard work, nothing has been solved, france's economy continues to fall, the only thing that has risen is the number of waila immigrants, and Macron's support rate is already in jeopardy. But who thinks, the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian war, suddenly frightened the French, Macron's only correct decision is not to follow the United States to sanction Russia, but to mediate with Putin, advocate peace talks, pretend to be really successful for him, the support rate exceeded Le Pen.
Le Pen's family is a famous old fortune in France, notoriously conservative, Le Pen her father once even said that Nazi Germany failed because of the incomplete anti-Semitism, but also advocated that France restore the "guillotine death sentence", which shows dementia. The National Front, led by the Le Pen family, is France's 10,000-year-old opposition party, which is too extreme to be seen on the left and right. In 2011, after Le Pen took over the party leader, he felt that her father was too noisy, and he was fired, which was really a daughter-in-law.

The Le Pen family is quite "devilish", and even the family has appeared to attack each other for the sake of election. For example, Le Pen's niece Marechal, because Le Pen fired the old Le Pen, felt that her aunt was too inhuman, and helped the political enemies in the party to attack her, which was really a family of love and affection. Le Pen is actually not stupid, she knows why Macron won in 2017, that is, by "playing tai chi", so Le Pen has long been "in the middle" in recent years, but what remains unchanged is the rejection of immigrants.

The problem of immigration is indeed a major problem in France, the largest group of immigrants in France is African and Arab immigrants, mostly from former French colonial countries, France has successfully become a country that has been eaten by "colonial history", and people have given the nickname "Gaul Crow Chicken". The influx of immigrants has brought about a high incidence of crime and a reduction in the level of government welfare, as well as a clash of faiths, france is a traditional Catholic country, and immigrants are mostly Muslims.

In recent years, french terrorist attacks have been frequent, and nationalist sentiment has been very high, and Le Pen has seized this opportunity.

In addition to immigration, economic problems are also the biggest headache for every French government. During Macron's tenure, there was not much money, and France's GDP fell from $2.9 trillion in 2008 to 2.6 trillion now; per capita GDP fell from $45,000 in 2008 to 38,000 now. Although the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, for the French, it is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, and from luxury to frugality.
The economy cannot be raised, and the fiscal revenue of the natural government cannot be raised, and even will fall. But France is an old capitalist country, with a very large welfare expenditure, and 30% of the government's annual budget must be invested in welfare, that is, money. France has more than 400 kinds of benefits, the retirement age of the French is generally very early, the average is only 55 years old, the ballet dancers of the French National Theatre, even at the age of 42, retired, can continue to find a job, pension can always be received.
French ballet dancers protested the government's cuts in pensions
Europeans have always quipped that "the French have half a year on vacation", low work efficiency, early retirement age, but pensions and salaries are very high, which have to be paid by the government. Whenever the French government wants to reduce or raise the retirement age, mass protests break out, and it is too difficult. The French government itself also has a large number of "excess" civil servants, such as the mail office, which can obviously handle business online, and the French government stipulates that materials must be mailed, just to find things for them.
French soldiers
In France, the slowness of the government sector is notoriously slow, and perhaps the most efficient "civil servant" is the French army.
But the French are lazy and have capital, because French companies hold a large number of patents, take the shipbuilding industry as an example, China as one of the world's largest shipbuilding countries, Chinese companies build a large ship, they can only earn 7% of the profits, most of the money is attributed to the French company, that is to say, they lie do not have to do anything, the annual net profit is 40 times that of the Chinese company. To start early is to have capital, so the French can make money lying down.

After the end of World War II, France's GDP was less than 1/3 of that before the war, but relying on the Blood Transfusion of the "Marshall Plan" of the United States and its own industrial base, it returned to the pre-war level in 1948, which is the strength of the old imperialist countries, so today's French people are actually still eating the old money, but with the successful industrial transformation of other countries, the result of eating grain is that the French government is eaten poor.
Paris
The 2008 world financial crisis, the 2009 European debt crisis, under the double blow, the French government actually could not stand it, the tax increase, the borrowing of debt, the French unemployment rate exceeded 10% for the first time in 2014, a large number of enterprises moved out, losing 750,000 jobs. Sarkozy and Hollande could not be re-elected, and when Macron came to power, he thought he had some good countermeasures, but it turned out to be the same old-fashioned, raising taxes and borrowing, and bringing the French government's fiscal deficit to a record high.
At the same time, France and Germany are getting more and more deadlocked, the two sides on the issue of the leadership of the European Union has always been inconclusive, since the United Kingdom left the Eu, Germany obviously does not want to play, do not lead, do not take responsibility, only want to rely on the EU to transfer their excess industrial products; and the French have more than enough and insufficient strength, want to be the boss of the Eu, but can not be.
MERKEL: The EU gave it to you, did you? Macron: I can't afford it!
In 2015, the Syrian crisis broke out, the then German chancellor and the de facto supreme leader of the European Union Merkel announced the relaxation of restrictions, Europe will accept more than 2 million Middle Eastern refugees and African refugees, so that France has no face, not only can not interject, but also have to help Germany to accept refugees, causing a surge in domestic social security and employment pressure.
European refugee crisis
These are all in the eyes of the French, Le Pen clearly understands the Disappointment of the French in Macron, if it were not for the Russian-Ukrainian crisis, this time the "little Margo" was more fierce, Le Pen as long as he did not say the wrong thing or did the wrong thing, the president-elect was almost a very certain thing, and Macron estimated that these few days would be spent in anxiety. France already has a lot of actresses and female soldiers, will there be a "first female president"? Let's wait and see.
