Ishaan Tharoor—Marine Le Pen wants to be France’s future. But can she escape the past?:

The first round of France’s highly anticipated presidential election takes place Sunday, and as many as five candidates are realistic contenders for the two-person runoff scheduled for May 7. Polls place Emmanuel Macron, a youthful, independent centrist, narrowly in the lead. But he is tailed closely by a crowded field including far-left stalwart Jean-Luc Mélenchon and François Fillon, the scandal-plagued conservative and former prime minister

But, of course, the figure casting a shadow across the whole campaign is Marine Le Pen, the 48-year-old leader of the far-right National Front. Once the standard-bearer of a fringe extremist party, she is now at the forefront of a powerful, popular movement, eager to refashion France with an aggressively nationalist agenda. Thursday’sshooting in Paris, for which the Islamic State has claimed responsibility, underscored how ripe France may be for Le Pen’s hard-line message on immigration and Islam. Le Pen quickly pounced on the attack as proof of the need to shield France from “Islamist terrorism.”

My colleagues reported earlier in the week on one of the curious factors that distinguishes Le Pen’s National Front from right-wing populists in Britain and the United States: The strong backing of millennials. One survey shows Le Pen winning 40 percent of the vote among those 18 to 24, a reflection of widespread youth disillusionment with the status quo.

“We’ve been told our whole lives that everything is set. Free trade. Forgetting our borders. One currency for all of Europe. Nothing can change,” said Gaëtan Dussausaye, the 23-year-old leader of the National Front’s youth wing, to my colleagues. “But young people don’t like this system. This system is a failure.”

“The National Front’s strength among millennials suggests the populist wave that’s unsettled the West may be more durable than many may assume,” wrote The Washington Post’s Griff Witte and James McAuley. “Far from the last gasp of closed-society older voters who are demographically destined to be outnumbered by a rising tide of cosmopolitan youth, the populist insurgency could continue to build over years and decades if enough disenchanted young voters can be lured by the promise of something new.”

SnyderTalk Comment:

France has passed the point of no return. See the articles below:

Also, see “French election could bring a jolt to Western security, no matter who wins” and “Trump predicts deadly Paris shooting will have ‘big effect’ on key French election”.

I think President Trump is correct. The world is becoming an increasingly unsafe place. The effects of Islamist attacks on ordinary sane people are going to be bigger than most people imagine.

Watch out for vigilantes. They are out there. They will strike back.

Regardless, Europe is coming unglued. Brexit is just the first example of a country leaving the EU. Others are sure to follow.

The world is drifting toward a global war. The movement is picking up a head of steam. Every region of the world is affected including South America.

“If My people who are called by My Name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7: 14)

Change that Yahweh calls “good” begins in the hearts of believers—people who are recognizable because they are different.

We are different because we belong to Him and are called by His Name. We are Yahweh’s people, His followers.

“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17: 22-24)
