The political situation in the Frog Pond is looking even messier than the one here, and on top of it they're hosting the Olympics in a month.  Something tells me there is going to be more action on the Champs d'Elyssee than in the Olympic Stadium.

There doesn't appear to be any solution that could actually work to form a "Democratic" goobermint in France that could agree on anything, particularly in the area of finance, and their finances are a hot mess.

This article posits the possibility of "Technocrats" being appointed as a caretaker goobermint.  Technocrat is another name for Bankster Stooges.  Governance to them means making sure the banks are paid, which is supposedly "apolitical".  Apolitical means they do stuff nobody except the banks like.

In this scenario, I suspect lively street action from both the left and right will light more fires than just the Olympic flame.  I don't know how many Gestapo they plan to mobilize for the Olympics, but I suspect also it won't be enough.

At least we should get pretty good TV coverage.

A Technocrat

Do technocrats always wear suits?  I think they do.

Their Pajamas are suits.

The latest from the Frog Pond is that Macronian Amphibians are standing down from the election if one of the candidates from the Radical Left is better positioned to defeat Penne Pasta and prevent the Nazis from taking power.  So far, 180 candidates have pulled out.

This sets up  a pitched battle between the Nazis and the Commies to see if one of them can win the necessary 289 seats to form a Goobermint and choose the Prime Minister.  The Nazis were projected to win between 250-300 seats before the Left mobilized and the centrists withdrew to throw their support to the radicals.

If neither gets the necessary majority, France will have a hung Parliament incapable of passing any legislation and Macron may appoint Technocrats to run the Pond until 2027.

The next round of elections happens July 7th, and the Olympics begins a couple of weeks after that.  Pariis has a socialist Mayor, so if Le Penne wins count on lots of action in front of the Eiffel tower.

All the horror scenarios of the Nazis getting a majority in the Frog Pond are now history, and instead the Commies took the most seats and Macaroni came in 2nd.  Nobody has a majority, and the 3-way split is so even there's about no way a coalition can form a Goobermint.  So the Frogs will likely have a hung parliament unable to pass any legislation.  We'll see if Macaroni appoints TechnoBrats to keep the banksters happy and the budget balanced.  probably the current Goobermint will continue day to day operations until after the Olympics.

The most interesting details will be seeing how this affects the Ukraine war and how it affects the Frog economy and the Euro.  Will it tip the Eurozone into a crash?  Stay tuned for updates.
