Le Pen vows to fight conviction in front of supporters but large-scale protests fail to materialize

Here’s how Le Monde covered it in English:


Le Monde isn’t leftwing, especially for France. More centrist and generally known for accuracy.

Here’s Politico.eu:


Politico, in my experience, isn’t generally into taking sides. It’s more like gossipy, access journalism. They aren’t usually full of shit but YMMV.

Not saying you should listen to any one source but those definitely aren’t far-left or far-right.

So that username isn’t tongue-in-cheek, then. Got it.

OP is a Trump supporter (look at their post history), so they probably chose the article with this title specifically

Thanks. This is why nobody trusts corporate media.

The title says that the protests failed to materialize but the article did not talk about the protests.

So here it's more data (from France info):

• There were 7000 people according to the police, 10 000 according to Bardella, the president off the far right party

• Another protest was organized in a different place in Paris by the left, with 5000 people according to the police

• For comparison, the night of the parliament elections last year, there was a self organized manifestation (from the left) at the same place of 8000 people
