A Nation Outraged and Its Arsonists

The parents of Lyhanna, killed by a known sexual predator who had been reported to authorities repeatedly since 2017 but never prosecuted, made clear that the entire political class was unwelcome at Sunday’s white march for their daughter, according to Causeur. Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin had offered his apologies to the family on Friday, while the Justice Minister acknowledged that judicial institutions had failed to protect the young girl from a predator who was flagged multiple times yet never troubled by either prosecutors or police.

The prosecutor of Auch in the Gers department has been identified as responsible for failing to follow directives requiring accelerated handling of cases involving child victims. Yet this individual scapegoating does nothing to address the collective institutional failures that enabled the tragedy.

A Pattern of Elite Denial

The decision by Lyhanna’s parents reflects broader societal anger among forgotten French citizens confronting what Causeur describes as the unlimited irresponsibility of ideologues and technocrats who have led the nation toward bankruptcy and erasure. The failed leadership refuses to acknowledge its errors, even as scandals multiply.

Pedophile assaults in public after-school programs in Paris and elsewhere represent scandals cynically lamented by the very officials who should have prevented them. The riots and looting of June 30 provoked no official soul-searching about the hatred toward France displayed by young rioters from North African and sub-Saharan African backgrounds.

In Nantes, Mayor Johanna Rolland blames the state for gang warfare that has terrorized residents, leaving four dead by gunfire in May alone, even as the Socialist official boasts of having made the city a “refuge city” for all immigrants. These arsonists see only conspiracy theorists or Putin propagandists among their critics.

Mélenchon’s Totalitarian Turn

Those who conceal the nation’s disintegration prove equally blind to the totalitarian drift embodied by Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who sees “fascists” everywhere while himself representing what Causeur characterizes as a new fascism. The far-left agitator has united a violent, anti-Semitic, insurrectionist movement that collaborates with Islamist conquest and supremacism.

France Unbowed deputy Carlos Martens Bilongo declared in December 2025 that his movement would prove more numerous, more intelligent, more enduring, and would produce more children than their opponents. At Saint-Denis, before the necropolis of France’s kings, Mélenchon held his first major campaign rally yesterday, drawing 10,000 participants who chanted “We are at home here!”

In that same city, former communist mayor Jacques Doriot launched his French Popular Party on June 27-28, 1936, beginning his journey from Stalinism to collaboration with the Nazi occupation, which itself forged pacts with Islam. Like nine decades ago, a New Man has been sanctified in an ode to ethnic replacement, with the mixed-race individual succeeding the Aryan in a segregation that excludes what Mélenchon has termed the “all-white, all-ugly” native French who supposedly pose a serious problem for social cohesion.

The central bloc and fashionable left previously aligned themselves with France Unbowed and its radical agenda. All of them, Causeur concludes, represent public dangers who must be swept away by a revolution of the forgotten.
