A friend points me to a Washington Post article, in which after accounts of huge protests by all good people everywhere in France against Le Pen’s extremism, the writer finally explains what the extremism is:
“Le Pen says that if elected, he will move to cut France’s ties with the European Union, restore border controls to halt the flow of immigrants and phase out income taxes. He opposes abortion, supports the death penalty and has been accused of being anti-Semitic.”
