Being immigrated in France what can happen to me if Marine Le Pen wins the elections - by Cardia

Trance, my analogy is really just a rip off of Trey Parker and South Park. I do think the French people are getting the short end of the stick though. From what I understand, de Gaulle set up their election this way to force these run offs. It is a way to keep the powers that be still in power. While the US system off the primary is not perfect (drawn out far too long) and the general election sort of wonky, it is preferable to the French Presidential election. (

Within 9 days there will be elections in France, i am an immigrant , i came from Portugal to live in France, i´ve been living here for 8 months now. I haven't been much updated to politics here, but i know that the candidate Marie Le Pen won't support emigration will take France out of the Union European, but's that's all i know. what else should i know.
Thanks in Advance
I'm pretty sure they're just after recent middle eastern immigrants, and maybe polacks to a lesser extent.

Seriously? this woman even copied Fillon speech :
if there's wasn't so much abstinence in voting in France a person of extreme right like Le Pen would have never come this far.
And who's to blame for that? If you can't inspire any voter enthusiasm that's your own damn fault as a party.

I'd be with you on that.
I was reading about the 48 hour pre-election discussion/polls etc. ban (in relation to the timing of the Macron leaked emails) and think it'd be great if we could have that too. Politicians talk way too much and I think it'd be a real relief to have them shut up for 2 days.
I've done a bit of a google but my questioning is apparently not good enough for google. I was wondering if your candidates have financial contribution limits for electioneering, as we do in the UK.

Here is a bit of an answer (in french, sorry, use google trad ;-) )

Nickie, basically there's a limit on how much they can spend, which for all intents and purposes amounts to the same thing I suppose. From Stefan's link, candidates cannot spend over 16,851 millions each on the first round, and no more than 22,509 millions for the two who reach the second round.
Any candidate that makes more than 5% on the first round gets his/her campaign costs reimbursed (after an audit of the campaign accounts), that's why it really sucks for Dupont-Aignan this time as he barely missed the mark. (I would wager this near-miss has a bit to do with his striking a deal with Le Pen to endorse her on the second round, in addition to being promised the PM position, I wouldn't be surprised if the FN agreed to take over some of these costs in exchange.)
On the other hand, Sarkozy after the 2012 election was denied the refund after the audit found irregularities, and the party launched a donation campaign that was nicknamed the "Sarkothon", gathering 11 million euros.
tl;dr, I don't think there's a limit to donations themselves, but the spending is restricted and scrutinized.

Thank you both very much. I've had a quick view but will look at your link, Stefan_Key, in more depth tomorrow when my head is less scrambled.
I do wish you the outcome you hope for.
