Marine Le Pen Surges in Latest Polls; Markets Don’t Give a Shit

Nothing seems to be able to rattle markets, not Trump, not the specter of World War 3, not the rise of Marine Le Pen — who is literally promising to tell both NATO and the EU to fuck off. Does anyone have any idea what this would for the new world order? Without France, I very much doubt Italy would stay in the EU. As such, the EU will be rendered null and void — casting out shit countries, like Greece, into the wilderness to be savaged by Turk invaders.

Monday’s daily OpinionWay poll showed that first-round support for anti-euro candidate Le Pen rose 1 percentage point to 27 percent, with Macron and Republican Francois Fillon unchanged at 20 percent each. While no surveys so far have shown Le Pen even close to a victory in May’s run-off, she’s quickly narrowing the gap to her rivals. OpinionWay showed Macron would defeat Le Pen by 58 percent to 42 percent in the second round. His advantage has halved in less than two weeks.

Le Pen is up sharply in the latest polls. Markets don’t give a shit — pressing higher into the doldrums of final execution.

French bond yields are 1/3rd the level they were back in 2011, the last time the EU was on the precipice of disaster.

Le Pen’s chief competitor is named after a buttery pastry. Macron is under harsh criticism from an uncucked public after making anti-French remarks regarding their colonialist past — calling France’s rule over Algeria a ‘crime against humanity.’

Truth be told, the barbarous French killed over a million Algerians during their 132-year reign over the North African people. Nevertheless, in light of his slippage in the polls, sweet Macron was forced to apologize.

“I am sorry to have offended you, to have hurt you,” Macron said on Saturday in the southeastern city of Toulon, responding to criticism of his comments from French nationals who had to leave Algeria in 1962.

“But we must face this common, complex past if we want to move on and get along,” he said, alluding to historical links between Algeria and France, where many citizens hold both nationalities.

This is France today — thanks to the advent of multi-culturalism.

    the debts denominated in Euros will create the biggest fuck-up yet, should the EU begin to quaver. Credit default swaps, too much leverage all around was not fixed whatsoever.
