Let's be honest for the whole 90s i read LePen and other french far right leaders described as "just another french right-winger like any other"* in the paper like the New York Times and the Washington Post. So i am not surprised Banon get a warm welcome by foreign (non us) medias. Foreign journos will get furious when you receive their far right at home politely but will do the same with your far right assholes.
Of course we should know better but in all honesty, our medias are as terrible as their.
*"basically a republican but antisemitic" is i think the closest of the true they ever got. At the time, he was calling the gas chambers an historical "detail". :golfclap:

It's a trash airport with no restaurant and was incredibly hard to buy alcohol in that I hope to never again go near so good

I humbly offer my services as forum inquisitor. There is absolutely no way I would abuse this power in any way.


as far as protests go yeah they’ve died down for mow afaict

the latest fun thing was that the government was forced to open a platform so that people could sign an official petition to ask for a referendum on whether or not the airports around paris could be privatized

we need 5 million signatures if we want the referendum to take place, and the government is not making this easy lmao

Like I posted in the other thread, the Minister for Police Beatings is bragging about how deportations have increased by 14% but they still need to kick out more people.

He's also crowing about the low turnout at the latest protest, of course.
