This week the elections were held in France where Emmanuel Macron, the current French president, and the far-right, Marine Le Pene, who returned for a second chance before the electorate that owns the Marseillaise.
The previous electoral event led me to reflect today in greater depth on the dilemma that the voters of the world have about what they really want from their future or current government leaders, that is, … what would provide them with greater added value? … ideology or the appropriate public policies to solve their needs, the political idea or the effective result.
The ideological quadrant, the one that takes us from the conservative line, to the socialist wing passing through liberalism and communismhas us trapped thinking what is the best path that leads us to social harmony and the progress of nations.
Make your own calculations, dear reader. Review the story and you will find the answer to the central question of this collaboration. Surely, you will have to go back about 50 years in history and make a table with two columns: PROS AND CONS that will lead you to resolve the question.
However, the easiest route will undoubtedly be the one that you would travel with greater security, economic progress, social harmony and happiness among your loved ones. Start your analysis here.
Macron has, politically speaking, a socialist origin, a specter that he left to form the En Marcha movement, a platform that in a couple of years allowed him to lead the French government. and that now solidifies to take him to the leadership of the European Union.
However, he will have to pass with good grades first, the electoral customs office where Marine Le Pen awaits him, his eternal political rival who represents the right and who is the possessor of powerful rhetoric and 144 attractive proposals to the public eye.
Let’s review some proposals from Marine Le Pen.
It will fight against terrorism by withdrawing the binationals French nationality by expelling them and preventing their return to France.
The National Fund will support national companies in the face of international competition; The importation of foreign products that do not comply with the measures imposed on the French will be prohibited and the hiring of foreign workers will be taxed.
In terms of national identity, the French flag will fly in all public buildings and will promote a national story in schools to integrate students into a republican national sentiment.
However, Le Pen has on her agenda the most controversial proposal that would lead France to leave the center of the European Union just as England did with its Brexit to seek its own route, called frexit, away from this coalition. of European countries that he defends with all his being and political work, Emmanuel Macron.
Without a doubt, this will be the key to deciding, in the second round of elections that will take place in May of this year, between the two politicians classified as political outsiders, given that they have abandoned party doctrines on this occasion.
The reflection remains the same: Ideology over effective results? Which one do you stay with?
We’ll meet later.
