Today my heart is bleeding.
I shame for my country and my fellow citizens. I had always thought that the Vichy era was a forgotten thing and that no one could destroy our willingness to live together in peace.
Today, I am afraid. Those who want to divide our nation and isolate it from the rest of the world got more than 20 % of the ballots.
Our fatherland is in great danger and I shame for those who died in 1789 (the Revolution), in 1848 (the end of slavery, democracy and the ideal of brotherhood), in 1870 (the fight for equality) and in 1940 (the résistants against nazism).
I am also sure that France will overpass those difficult times, but everyone has to be aware of the danger and has to be prepared to fight if it is needed.
Now the best thing to do is to be united and to support those with foreign origins (more than 25% of the French have at least one grand-parents originating from a foreign country) to face barbary together.
One should not forget our national motto "Freedom, Equality and Brotherhood".
I hope that all the foreign people living in France, will support their French neighbours on that dangerous path.
"No pasaran"
Vive la France, Vive la République !!!
