Libertas announce candidates for French EU Regions in June

Le Figaro reports on the launch of Libertas in France, linked here in French. The highest profile figure is Philippe de Villiers (a former Presidential candidate and sovereignist) who will stand in the West. Frédéric Nihous, of the pro-hunting movement will stand in the North West and Jérôme Rivière, a former member of Sarkozy's party will stand in the region around Paris. Libertas appears to have a more substantial base in France than is the case in the UK which proved to be a very underwhelming launch this week and appears to offer little real threat to the BNP, Ukip or the English Democrats at all at this stage. The complete uselessness of David Cameron actually receives some sideways mention in the Daily Telegraph this morning, linked here. At the present rate of decline one trusts that between these four parties the Conservatives will receive a well-deserved drubbing for their lack of proper opposition to Brown and Blair over recent years.
