French Politics

                    We are all familiar with the Tea Party here in the United States, well it seems that now a tea party is emerging in France, on the far right of French politics. This was stated by France's Interior Minister Manual Valls. This came up because of all the situations that are happening in France right now. In France there has been rallies uprising, a significant one has been the anti-gay marriage rally. "Anti-gay marriage rally scheduled to take place in Paris Sunday, Valls expressed deep concern at a society tormented by the dark forces of division' and called on what he termed 'the Republican right' of French politics, to distance itself from these groups." Valls stated that after seeing the way French politics are going and is going through that it would not be surprised that a tea party can emerged, in fact that the creation of a tea party is being witnessed. 

           '''Bound up with the crisis of leadership of the right [in French politics], and faced with the refocusing of the [far right] Front National [political party],” Valls said, “a conservative and reactionary right has come into being. With opposition to marriage for all [same-sex marriage reform], it has increased its forces tenfold. It occupies the streets as it considers that the left [Socialist Party] in power is not legitimate.'''

  1. I think French politics is a very messy business. I think politicians need to be very careful right now because the country is in a delicate state because of all the uprisings.
