Something unusual happened to the French far right during these Olympic Games: it went silent. Marine Le Pen is apparently cuddling her five-month-old grandson in Brittany when she's not tending her cats at her home in the Yvelines...Le Pen's social media team had posted on her X account a few tweets – six in total – of support and appreciation for the most striking successes of the French Olympic delegation, and that was all.
On one hand, the country has had the greatest party anyone can remember, to which the grumps of the far right had made sure they wouldn't be invited and which it was too late for them to gatecrash. It is the curse they cannot exorcise: as they thrive on anger and division, what to do when everyone else, regardless of nationality, gender, age, religion or lack of, color of skin and yes political inclination is having such tremendous fun?
