France, Alternative Libertaire AL #246 - National Front And
during that time, the FN congress (fr, it, pt) [machine
translation]

The 29 and 30 November was held in Lyon on Fifteenth Congress of the National Front. High 
Mass in honor of its president and intended to give the image of a party on the way to 
victory in the 2017 presidential election, the Congress has especially helped to renew 
"quietly" the FN authorities. ---- No discussions during these two days, activists are not 
there to express their views but to attend panel discussions, vote and cheer their 
leaders, and pay tribute to the honorary president of the party or "brave members DPS 
"(their security service) with a medals ceremony. ---- The guest list is quite 
instructive, since in alongside representatives of United Russia (Putin's party), several 
European extreme right movements were present: the Austrian Freedom Party, Northern League 
Italian, Bulgarian VMRO, Flemish Vlaams Belang, Ok Czech Strana. And in the wake of Julian 
Sanchez and the new Secretary General of the FN, Nicolas Bay, Revenue m?gretisme, 
officials from the Bloc identity also attended the congress of the FN.

Two trends, an asset

If the press has focused on the competition, staged by the FN between Florian Philippot 
and Marion Mar?chal-Le Pen, the arrival at the head of the member of Vaucluse in the 
election of members of the central committee does, however, allow no definitive 
conclusions on the future direction of the party: first, because the gap between the two 
is not a defeat for the vice president of FN; but mostly because the "sensitivities" 
different (one is more focused on sovereignty and economic issues, while the other would 
be in the traditional line of the far right embodied by the FN years Jean-Marie Le Pen ) 
are an asset to the party, as long as they live together. This will provide figures in 
which can meet the newcomers, as the oldest and most traditional activists, supporters and 
voters. This is the same logic of doublespeak, the far right, even if it is obviously not 
the only one, has made a specialty, holding about different, even contradictory, depending 
on the location and target audiences. But as you also know everyone together, "national 
preference" sometimes renamed "national priority" remains the basis of the FN program and 
on all subjects. The delegates are not mistaken, since they sang regularly head to kill 
their favorite slogan "We are at home" ... even at the round table on ecology.

The renewal of the Politburo (the Jamet history and unmanageable mayor of Hayange 
Engelmann come out, Rachline, Chauprade and near Gollnisch, Salagnac, y fall) and the 
central committee must allow the FN train "frames" he is sorely lacking in view of its 
ambitions: it is all the more necessary that its recent electoral success forced him to 
abuse the dual mandate as a vulgar centrist party of the Fourth Republic.
