Bonaparte also stands for Napoleon I so that doesn't change anything. I am French and I definitely think Napoleon should be accepted. Also Giscard should be enough for Giscard d'Estaing.
It's easier with Napoleon accepted, I think it's ok like that.
But I think useful to remind that "Napoléon III" was his denomination as emperor whereas "Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte" was his denomination as president, which is quite different !
Calling Le Pen a Nazi is like calling Bernie Sanders a communist. There's certainly an argument to be made that they're in that *direction*, but there's such a massive gulf that the comparison is not ultimately legitimate.
Well, the FN is a fascist party but couldn't win. And even if Le Pen was president, she couldn't that easily become a dictator. But she would try to isolate France, to get rid of the immigration, to muzzle the press and control the media and the arts, to reinforce the executive power, and so on... As for the "muslim caliphate", I just can't tell how stupid that was : Nowadays, most of France's population is christian and won't become muslim that easily. Do they think that the islamic state, Al Qaida or anything else could declare war to France? Come on, France has got the BOMB... There is no way France could become muslim in a near future (as the Quizmaster said elswhere, anything came happen on a larger scale, of course).
Not that much. Her father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, is an obvious fascist. She has tried to show a softer side, she has claimed that the party had become more respectable, but I seriously doubt it. Her aggressive attitude during the between tours debate says it all, which is by the way the reason why she didn't get 40% rather than 35...
"But she would try to isolate France, to get rid of the immigration"
Why would it be a problem to eliminate immigration and with this islamic terrorism? If I was a French, I would be pretty mad that my country is full of immigrants from different cultures and I should fear of being a victim by an ISIS terrorist....
Luckily, here in Hungary we do not have any of that kind of problem. We live among our own kind.
Got the last five, plus de Gaulle, Poincare, and Bonaparte. The only other one that I've even heard of was Pompidou. Maybe Coty and Millerand... they sound vaguely familiar.
A number of the major French figures were PM and not President so it's a little confusing. The presidency was a considerably weaker role prior to the Fifth Republic. Hence:
* Clemenceau
* Leon Blum
* Petain
were never President in any of these Republics. (Petain was obviously President of Vichy but only the surrendering Prime Minister of the Third Republic.)
Fun fact: he wasn't PM. But sadly most people, French people included, don't make a difference between Premier Ministre and Président du Conseil, so he is often known as a PM...
This question tripped me up at first when I tried to write Napoleon.
But I think useful to remind that "Napoléon III" was his denomination as emperor whereas "Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte" was his denomination as president, which is quite different !
Napoleon is Napoleon the 1st and not Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte.
Napoleon never became a French president - they are not the same person
Plus, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte became Napoleon III but as an Emperor not as president...
