The only certainty that emerged from the French national elections is the genuine surprise and delight of the globalist left elites at the coming chaos that will result from a hung parliament and political paralysis.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who met privately with French Prime Minister Jean-Luc Mélenchon, posted on X that French politicians had quickly formed a left-wing alliance to counter “extremism.”
