There is alot of concern where I live. I live near Marseille and there were riots there throughout the night with firecrackers and looting. There were even bigger riots in Paris as well as riots in Lyon, Strasbourg and other big cities. While having LePen on the ballot is a very scary idea, most of the people who voted for him do not necessarily agree with his ideas, they just wanted to send a message to Chirac and Jospin that they are tired of them.
I do agree that racial tension in Europe is rising, during Passover, several synagogues were burned. Everywhere I walk, I see anti-arab graffiti. I can't imagine how much worse this could be if LePen is president.
The silver lining is that Chirac is expected to get about 75 percent of the vote in the May 5th election.
