Henin Beaumont, a former mining town in northern France, voted socialist for decades but is now a model for the way Marine Le Pen's far-right National Front party is capitalising on economic hardship. Anne-Sylvaine Chassany visited the region to find out why.

If i lived in France she would get my vote.
No, because you would know her and the history of her party, and you would realize she is almost a neonazi.
No need to talk about her father : When you decide to lead a party, you check its history and political line first. It's like saying : "oh, but the NSDAP is fine now, its new leader is really an awesome dude". And marine showed several times that she had curious political links.
There existe 2 vote who will really change the situation better than Marine le pen: Asselineau (UPR) or Jean luc melenchon (La france insoumise). You guys need to stick this in your heads.
@@tamanwar203 The real neonazi is people like you who wants the Germanian Union. Because that's exactly what it is. Not a European Union.
@@user-hw8kw4hz9l i don't want France to stay in the EU and Lepen never clearly said in her program that she wanted to leave the it.
common sense is now called "extreme"..,they get worse every day =.=
U should go post in the Disney channel.. Besides symbols, like le pen said, u speak nothing.....
Disney has a TH-cam channel?..Children shouldn't be watching this, go to bed.
They even said the FN will be disruptive for years to come, as their last sentence......their choice of words....then FN will be proactive for many years to come in my opinion.
I believe it will be disruptive for deep state politics and politicians..and proactive for the people.
How do you know?Did you see the future?
Le Pen is stronger than the sword
DudeGuy Le Penn is stronger than the soros :)
excellent, i was trying to think of an applicable and analogous word for sword to work with that sentence but couldnt come up with one.
he's a mix of pol pot and staline
She's a brave politician speaking where it is needed.
But weaker than the Mac(a)ron...
this reporter is very biases against Le Pen.
Lol she doesn't need anyone to be hated. Her party has been founded by a bunch of crooks affiliated with the moon sect, the socialist party, collaborationists and ex OAS members. The flame of the fn is a reference to the fascist Italian party, she has been seen with an ex SS member, and she went to a neonazi ballet in Austria. Trust me, if this reporter had bad intentions towards her, he would have at least talk about that. Instead, he just says that marine le Pen is different from her father, which is completely inaccurate.
Tamanwar You're not a white European, your opinion is irrelevant.
Actually, yes I am. I'm 75% French and 25% German. And even if I wasn't, facts are facts, you can't deny the national front has fascist origins, and still has fascist supports, despite Marine's attempts to hide it. As we say : «charité bien ordonnée commence par soi-même» : If you want strangers to mind their own business, and if you are not a French citizen yourself, don't speak about a country's political history you seem to know extremely bad.
Because you think you can be taken seriously ? A guy who thinks he can guess people's origins and bases a counter argument on someone's ethnicity ? If you think the right is "taking over", you're dead wrong : The right has always ruled the world we live in, you're only talking about the conservative form of the right. And as long as the right will be here, workers around the world will keep suffering from misery. If you think Trump and le Pen are different from Clinton and Hollande, I pity you. These people only care about their self-interest, and if we have to wait until people like you realize it before doing something, humanity will cease to exist.
If we wanted to do a massacre competition, nationalism would definitely loose. 150 000 000 dead people due to the only british colonial empire. And as you should know, all the eastern states claiming they were "communist" killed even more communist people than the USA. Russia, China, Vietnam, North Korea etc. Never intended to abolish the class society, money, inequalities, or the state. It was just state capitalism, not communism. Makhno, Durruti, Goldman or Babeuf were communists, not Lenin, Stalin, Trotski or Mao
It could be very simple to stop the rise of extremists and even Brexit. All it would take is for the EU to stop, listen to what the citizens want, and make changes. But they won't. So don't blame people when they turn to someone who will listen, no matter how 'extreme' they appear to be.
You nailed it. I don't understand why some people think Europe must turn into one gigantic social security agency. Money doesn't grow on trees here.
We had very strict immigration policies (for a reason) and now we're supposed to let millions of people in because the left said so.
Don't get me wrong, I understand the people coming here flee from terrible things and/or from terrible poverty. But it's just not realistic to assume there will be a popular backing for this very politically,economically and socially draining refugee/migrant crisis.
The "extremists" didn't come out of nowhere. They were greeted with a big, red carpet by the left.
agree
Rip apart the rotten EU. Go Marine!!!
Let us hope Le Pen is elected. France and Europe need a good shake up. Brexit has highlighted the EU stranglehold and mindset.
There has been no brexit. An inside job has been done allowing the uk to keep all the economical advantages of the EU.
Tamanwar Goodbye good luck and good riddance !
EU import restrictions and subsidies have protected France from real globalisation. Nationalism and free trade would devastate what is left of traditional French industries particularly agriculture.
stevo728822 Go to hell sellout
Brexit will pay the dire price for their Lack of vision and not recognizing they were being used!! America is already Sorry for Twitler Trump!!
Go for it Marine! I'm an Englishman and I think you you are Great!! Win and the whole of .Europe can be changed for the better, World government will be finished!
What do you mean by world government ?
Robert Peace shame on you Robert! they have nothing to do with UKIP these people are Nazis and you're basically saying that you wish a Nazi party to win the election in an EU country ? those who died during WWII must be ashamed to have sacrificed their lives for Nazi worshipers like you.
do you like scot people ?
VikkyAthina turkey is the only fashist countryin europe. nationslist are not nazis. nationalsozialist are nazis , they tray like communist a worldempire. nationalist want a souveraign country.
Go Le Pen americans behind you. nationalism not globalism. God Bless
Well said. Indeed, the US has often backed fascist or other authoritarian movements in other countries.
maidapie
So nationalism it's a virtue now?...
You're not a big fan of history right?...
Hardcore Nationalism is pretty idiotic. IMO there should be a balance between both because yes countries should protect their citizens' safety and stability first but completely dismissing how interconnected our current world has become is pretty delusional. Having said that I would love to see Le Pen win. The EU was just a way to supply the strongest countries in Europe with cheap labor and restrict individual rights of its nations by centralizing power.
Nous allons voter en masse dans le Nord Pas de Calais :0)
Hugo EN MASSE :0))
Its's not extreme one bit, it's plain common sense and logic. I wish Australia had a leader exactly like her. Intelligent.
Really?? You're right she's a clever girl but it those not make her less dangerous. She is the result of years of manipulation. The front National came from a party who paricipated with the collaboration with the Nazi (great!). If you read her programme she is willing to censure the media, install catholic practices in public areas, fight any form of immigration, reduce philosophy and other self critic thinking lessons in favour of math and french (To be clearit means: "Shut up and work"). And worse she is willing to use Article 16 in the french constitution where she has the right to do anything (martial law). Do you still like her now?
hey I live in Paris, we have a BIG issue over here, she is right, its an invasion !!!!!! where do you live ???
I actually live in Bordeaux, its smaller than paris but the culture salad bawl succeded here. And its not the migrants the problem, its the international markets who leads the european commission that needs to be taken down. Le pen is part of the system... If you want change you have two possible options: l'UPR d'Asselineau or la FI de Melenchon...
Don't confuse culturally compatible migrants with opposing culture that's about invading and conquering. They are two totally different things. Your success of many cultures integrating successfully is irrelevant. Here in Australia it's the same. We have countless immigrants that come here and make it a very good place to live. It's doesn't mitigate the one that wants us wiped out. That's not hate speech. That's not conspiracy theory. They have documented the plan and numerous times made their objectives public. RIP France.
You are talking about a minority of people here, and france has a different geopolitical situation then Australia. The point is Marine Le pen is aiming on the wrong target. She thinks that migrants are here to invade france but the truth is that it is the great companies who actually controls the european commission and dictates their rules. The solution is to quit the EU, but not with Marine Le pen (she has crazy ideas on education and religion...). I thinth the best way to do so is with the UPR or la france insoumise party.
Whats' with this "rar right" crap?.... to rational people that fear Europe's future they are patriots!
any one who doenst like the eu is "far right" now
People of France, this is your chance to keep and maintain what France stands for. Good luck from the US.
I am an American, and I proudly support Le Pen. Good luck
Vive La France! Viva Le Pen!
+Magi “Magiconarpe V2” fsjal yea !!!! Its true but à lot of france guys not understand :"(
Nous devons tracer un nouveau cours.
💩
"a former socialist/labour/leftist stronghold, now a nationalist fortress"
yeah, that's pretty much everyone who voted for Brexit in England too. oh, that's pretty much everyone who voted for Trumo in the former Blue Wall too. see the Rust Belt pattern?
JG R that's a good observation.
Different problems call for different political approaches. Nothing wrong with being on the left at one time and on the right at another. At present, in France, only voting for Le Pen makes good sense.
from England !!! good luck !!!!
I am all for Mme Le Pen as I want to see the demise of the EU
She is Awesome. I totally like Marine
Yeah, i guess her fascist views are really popular now.
Tamanwar I see nothing fascistic in her
She is friend with some people claiming they are national socialists, she went to a neonazi ballet in Austria, she said that france had no responsibility in the veld'hiv event, and the logo of her party is the same than the official Italian fascist party. And remember that the front national has been created by SS members, collaborationists, OAS members and ordre nouveau members. And last but not least, her party received many supports from the moon sect.
Cry tears, Brigitte, your world is imploding.
Stand up for your country France! Vote Le Pen!
Funny the only British prime minister since Churchill with balls was a woman Maggie T, and now the only French future leader with same is a woman Le Pen
Viva Marie Le Pen French people you must vote for this Lady from a friend in England.
Gazza1818 Gosh, you're all talking without really knowing what she wants to do about our country. She's just an intelligent woman trying to manipulate the population by saying that she only wants what's good for France, but in her language, that means "Just ban as much immigrants as you can ". During debates with other candidates, she keeps on talking about Muslims or whatever and how they affect our country, she can't even raise important questions like tax avoidance. Truth to be told, all of her programm consists of rubbish ideas except some measures that will cost a lot and will fix nothing. If the immigrants go back to "their" country, we'll just be in more troubles than we are currently. Oh and some of her random ideas like turning the police into a milice ? Stupid :)
Please people of France! Vote for this lady and take back your country!
Brexit Britain stand's with the great proud French patriot Marine Le Pen VIVA LE PEN God bless her and keep her safe
Magi; even if France leaves the EU & NATO - the EU & NATO should carry on
The guy in the 8th minute is wrong. Textile industry chiefs were not satisfied with relatively cheap labour in Bulgaria, Hungary and Poland. They went to East Asia to hire even cheaper labour.
Yeah I thought that was wrong, saying they brought people from other EU countries who were paid 10 times less that in Bulgaria, since it's common knowledge that Bulgaria is one of the poorest countries in Europe.
I like to watch stuff on Le Pen but hate subtitles, I like to multi task so that means not looking at the screen most of the time and I can't do that with subtitles. This could be solved easily by narrating in English all conversations
Marine Le Pen/Front National for Hauts-de-France! Marine Le Pen for all of France 💜☺️
Normal, average people, for Le Pen.
It sounds like the people of this town didn't leave socialism. The socialist party left them.
This guy fixed roads, boosted local economy, cleaned up streets, But he made old lady cry, cant you see hes a monster.
It's not extreme it's essential for western democracy to carry on instead of the dramatic changes with the appeasement of the Islamic minorities who will be the majority soon if nothing is done to stop the the spread its crazy to let it carry on VOTE LE PEN
"Disruptive effect" - how about the Left's disruptive policies?
vote Le pen
God bless Marin LePen. watching from USA
I saw, in the midst of that decaying town, at 13:27, an Irish restaurant! Standing firm, O'Shannon seems to show how bad things are in France. It's taking lessons in Cuisine from the old Emerald Isle. My grandmother would be proud:)
you should make a Part 2 about southern France, the Var, your colleagues @ France24 have a great material on it!
When everyone is a politician, who are "the people". This is the age of education and information. The only thing we cannot all be is the doctor, architect, or the engineer. Also, this anti-immigration is racism talk is off, racism is racism. Remember, there are white/Caucasian Europeans living outside of Europe (naturalized elsewhere). So, sending out immigrants or halting immigration can at times mean sending these migrated or displaced Europeans out unless they are dual citizens. Which means if we are looking for racism patterns, there will still be white people coming into Europe, just not non white immigrants. Definitely and without question. This applies everywhere.
Le Pen in. Muslims out.
forget the last election its the next general election that should be given all your thoughts the best candidate is marine le pen a true french citizen so is her family :--j--c
I hope all French Citizens support her. Front Nacional.....we respect you
Good luck for Sunday .... Bonne chance pour le dimanche
People can be manipulated so easily...
Luv Le Pen! She is fantastic!
In the coal mines, the workers were mainly immigrants. How can you say that that rooted in French society?? This is not USA or UK.
#ImWithHer
I loved the way this lady spoke.
What is the intro music?
Darude, Sand Storm.
wow since when did the editor of the FT go on holiday how has this truth passed the media censor
Viva Le Pen!
VIVE LA FRANCE DE MARINE
the Michigan of France
There is NOTHING extreme about survival.
i hope le pen wins !
Hopefully not, french people remember where this party comes from. The moon sect, ordre nouveau, la division ss charlemagne, la milice and l'OAS killed too many people to be forgotten. Even their former logo was a reference to the official Italian fascist party.
The world is praying she wins.
Are there many Bertrands in France? Im from french Canada and their is a few of us here but not many
Bertrands in France is usually use as first name but some of frenchs have Bertrand as last name but its quite common here
France Interesting. In French Canada their is alot of: Cote, Chartrand, La coix, St Pierre, Tremblay
Oh WOW! Support for the National Front party increased due to coal mines being closed, really?? It's not a correct inference, in my opinion.
c'est fou le nombre d'étranger qui appelle à voter front national.mais est ce qu'ils savent ce qui se passe en France? est ce qu'ils connaissent les 11 candidats?j'en doute fortement
wrong is NOT extreme RIGHT; that's how the establishment people express about the "nationalist"
Vive Le Pen! Vive Le Pen! Vive Le Pen! Do it France, claim your land back NOW
letting in north Africa biggest mistake
I do not like the use of the word toxic ,
The Psychopaths in the EU and France would rather see civil war than admit defeat but i do hope la pen wins do the right thing France.
Keep France FRENCH and vote Le Pen!!!!!
She should wear french nails.
Can you imagine a world without France and the wonderful French people. ? Please vote Le Pen.
And now for the second round - I believe there are plenty who will now vote for Le Pen who abstained during the first round and eventually they will feel safe enough to come clean about their support. It was shocking to see the women who said she could be attacked on the street if she was a Le Pen supporter. Who are the real fascists ? Those who physically attack those who hold different views
There is that old proverb "Charity Begins At Home." The French (& other Europeans broadly speaking) must take care of their 'own' first B4 they can even start to think of immigrants. It is simple common sense.
It's also important to take note of the TOXICITY INHERENT IN SHARIA IT SELF, OR IN ISLAMIC LAW IT SELF 🐲🐉🙌⛅⛅
Le Pen President of France.... Time for drastic change....
That’s what France needs !!!!
President Le Pen 👍 👍
#imwithher
Nous allons voter en masse dans le Nord Pas de Calais pour Marine :0)
Liar, You don't Love the USA by trying to endorse Le Pen!! She's Worst then Trump!
San47di
the only problem you communist garbage have ,is your demented fantasy of " equality" . Game over.
Worse than Trump could still be excellent.
Long live marine ,
It's not quite fascism but great awakening of a sovereignty. Strangers can't wander into a country and do whatever they wanted. Chaos such as immigration, lost of jobs, lost of national identity way too common with globalism. It's a great movement for France...
ahvidaneidavirgilluminous I just burst out laughing. That is what the French have done in Africa and across the world for 100s of years. Enjoy the fruits of your labour!
Dear friend, i am writing strictly regarding this video. Other concerns pls discuss it with the right people and right place.
Jeanne d'Arc is reborn.
France too has its Rust Belt horrors, and the abandoned coal mines, textile mills and steel mills of its far north are cases in point.
FN is not far right. Its economic policy, that EU members should be free to pursue independent monetary and fiscal policies, hence no euro, a partial return to protectionism via selective tariffs, even within the EU, its suspicion of financial capitalism, its defence of the French welfare state, its support for the separation of Church and State, all put it on the populist left. The FN is no friend of corporate France, of the multimillionaires. She detests Hollande, but would respect the old time French Communists.
I deliver your papers, respect me
Le Pen is mightier then the sword!!
Go Le Pen! From Canada
the comments on this video scare me shitless
Keep asking communists for non-biased views. Christ FT wtf is this?
More foreigner people's coming to the Country,the more difficult would be for the living people's born there.
She is so good I think she's awesome
There is a lot I could say but, I’ll refrain from too much narrative and I’ll just go for;
W LePen.
I totally understand this people but initially EU was created to lessen the tension and rivalries between European nations. Try to resolve the terrorism, immigration and other issues but one should be careful not to derail from the main goal of the EU . The next Word War will be amongst Western countries in search of power and dominance.
Maybe this was all planned.
Je comprends leur sentiment mais l' UE a ete initiallement create pour atténuer les tensions et la rivalité entre les pays Europeens. C est important d'essayer de résoudre les problèmes du terrorisme, de l immigration et autres mais il ne faudrait pas oublier l'objectif principale de l'EU. La prochaine guerre mondial se jouera principalement entre les pays occidentaux, l'Europe de l'Ouest en particuler.
Peut etre que tout cela fait parti d'un coup monte.
I can't remember when being communist became more acceptable than being patriot.
Epic example of one-sided journalism. Who sets your agenda?
Total support from a French living in London!! Marine President! 🇫🇷💪
💩
Le pen is the futur of France !! like it or not ;) Vive Marine ! Vive la France !
Señora Le Pen luche por Francia! Luche por el Nacionalismo! Se debe demostrar que los países mas fuertes son por que siguen a la Extrema derecha ! si a los nacionalismos! no al comunismo y al globalismo! Viva Francia! viva el nacionalismo los fuertes se unirán y lucharan para hacer de este un mundo mejor!
MARINE PRÉSIDENTE 🖒 good :0)
God damn the chick doing the voice over for the vid has a hot accent.
Now look at France with Macron and the people have had enough and are doing the Yellow Vests protests.
Vivé Le France.
liberal propoganda...
Je vote LePen, dites-moi juste où et quand!
they are talking like if being communist is a noble thing. ironically Communism and Nazism are two faces of the same coin, but never mind it's Neo Liberal "logic".
😂😂😂 same story as in Balkans in 1991, only giult is allocated this time to euro, immigrants and globalisation 😂😂😂, how people are blind!
"extreme politics" hahahahaha okay, FT.
Nationalism = Patriotism
Despite unemployment at 10% the French are too socialist to understand that its’ socialism which always fails and refuse to accept the hard EU economic reality of a general lowering of living standards. The free movement of Labour ensures the very poorest are hit hardest by foreign substitution.
This report was interesting but the conclusions were wrong. Marine Le Pen has correctly diagnosed and highlighted the problems France faces but doesn’t have either the support or the correct economic program to regain French economic and fiscal stability. Macron refuses to acknowledge the EU is part of the problem and will also be a lame duck President, unable to push through any reform like Sarkosy and Hollande before him because French economic policy is trapped under the administration of Brussels.
Macron will ultimately fail and the plight of France will worsen. The Front National will gain more support and the clashes across the political divide will worsen dramatically. Marine Le Pen stands a good chance to win in 2022.
I love this woman
