Far-left French mayor calls for insurrection if conservatives win: ‘It’s either us or them’. By Remix News.
If the National Rally [RN, led by Marine Le Pen] candidate wins in the French presidential election next spring, far-left mayor Bally Bagayoko of multi-cultural Saint-Denis has said it will be invalid, calling for a “popular insurrection” if this were to occur.
One social commentator on X, Alain Weber, posted frankly about the reality France is facing: “Contrary to what the Democrats of this country thought, the danger will not come from Jean-Luc Mélenchon but from Bally Bagayoko, who is the calm face of the civil war being prepared in the suburbs.”
The mayor also said that those who attempt to “normalize the far right” are “dangerous,” adding that “if the far right comes to power, which we do not want, we will do everything so that it cannot happen.” …
Blaming Macron for the rise of the far right, Bagayoko stated: “Under Macron, the far right has never been so strong. We’re now at almost 140 racist members of parliament” …
Returning to the theme of inevitable insurrection, Bagayoko told the host: “It’s either us or them… that is to say, the far right,” adding later that he was “firmly convinced that the people will rise up” if RN wins next spring, while ignoring the fact that an RN victory would indicate voters exercised their democratic will. …
The danger of Bagayoko is real. “He is manufacturing the psychological conditions for a refusal of alternation, that is to say, quite simply, the conditions for a cold civil war, then hot.” …
Bagayoko drew ire from the local state prefect when it was revealed he had removed a photo of Macron, traditionally on display as a sign of respect, relegating it to a corner of his office and, by some accounts, turning it upside down.
The left are singing Bagayoko’s praises. For example:
Bagayoko, 52, the son of a family of Malian origin, won the municipal elections in March in the first round with 50.77% of the vote. It was historic. The first Black and Muslim mayor of a city with over 100,000 inhabitants. …
Bagayoko’s victory stems from a dual phenomenon: demographic and social. The young people who were demonstrating in the streets 15 years ago are now 30, 35, or 40 years old. And instead of radicalization, most have experienced a degree of bourgeoisification. They now have children, professional lives, and want recognition. Furthermore, there is social diversification. “Before, Muslims had access to immigrant jobs, but now they are doctors, lawyers, journalists… social workers. It’s a kind of gentrification of the Muslim middle class.” …
“The new France is a concept that has nothing to do with ethnicity or the division of the Republic. It’s about recognizing that a new generation constitutes France, and that it’s different from what it was 30 years ago. It’s the story of a country and a society in motion. The development of its networks, its challenges, its diversity. And that means we have to live with this new reality, including people who come from working-class neighborhoods, are Black, and become mayors,” Bagayoko points out.
Democracy is dead in France, if political actors of this stature are threatening civil war if their side does not win. This is not mere left vs right, but more about race and religion. The West is going tribal, as the third world immigrants find a voice and exert their numbers.
The left are pretending that the newcomers are just like the white population, only trivially different (skin color, style of worship). They will have our best interests at heart. History says otherwise.
