If Sarkozy didn't change the regime of Libya by bombing based on lies which are still under cover by main stream media, there might be no such an immigration wave caused by war and chaos. Today main stream media still try to avoid to associate their bias reports with the change in public opinion.

Every "civilizing" or, in the post-colonial era, "humanitarian" intervention in the Middle East has contributed to the state we find ourselves in today. But they blame religion, anything they can other than themselves.
Most "refugees" aren't even coming from Libya or Syria. It's just free for all, everyone who isn't white is welcome in Europe for the moment, just leave the shore and NGOs will gladly pick you up and ferry to the Italian coast.

Marxists in France? Do you have any idea what you're talking about?
12M people didn't vote at all. And 4M voted for neither candidate.
For context, in the 2012 election, total votes in 2nd round was 34,861,353, out of a population of 66.81M (now). I couldn't find the total voting population easily.
