MOSCOW (Sputnik), Alexander Mosesov — On Sunday, French media reported that former President Nicolas Sarkozy's Republican party had won the elections in seven out of the country's 13 regions. The ruling Socialist party of President Francois Holland secured the majority of votes in the five remaining region, while the FN failed to win any of the regions, despite finishing in first-place in six regions in the first round of the regional elections.
"The parties in power for over thirty years, the Socialist Party and Republican Party, regardless of name changes, accuse the National Front of using fear to win votes. In reality, they are the ones that have the fear and hatred against the National Front and its voters. Today, their only agenda is to beat the National Front," Arnautu, who is also a member of the European Parliament, said.
Arnautu added that there were two camps in France, a patriotic one that supports the FN’s anti-migration stance to defend their country and their culture and supporters of global cosmopolitanism embodied in France by the left and the main leaders of the Republicans.
On Sunday, the FN lost the second round of the regional elections in all 13 mainland regions, despite topping the polls in six regions in the first round.
"The French have realized [that this is a] destructive immigration policy, as the National Front, despite an intense propaganda campaign between the two rounds of regional elections, has seen massive progress in a week, from 6 to 6.8 million votes! This is more than during the presidential election of 2012," Arnautu said.
The FN vice president added that the party would continue to convince the French public that only the National Front would not betray them and implement "its program of public salvation" from the massive influx of refugees in France.
