oh, my beloved Nantes

When I first went to France as a high-schooler, in the summer between my junior and senior years (1986), I stayed with the Ducoulombier family in the town of Carquefou, only a few miles away from the famous city of Nantes. I visited Nantes a few times, but that was years and years ago. Apparently, things have changed since those days, and not for the better.

French Woman Testifies on the Threat of Islamic Migrants—'Today, Nantes is Becoming More and More like Kabul'

Nantes, the historically significant capital of Brittany, is experiencing a dangerous cultural shift, with increasing concerns about the city’s safety and open-border migration policies. Melissa, a resident of Nantes, France, recently delivered a testimony shedding light on her personal experiences, which revealed a distressing pattern—she endured multiple assaults, all perpetrated by migrant men. Melissa’s account resonates with a growing sentiment among citizens who increasingly feel that their safety is compromised due to the city’s migration policies.

Directed towards Johanna Rolland, the mayor of Nantes, Melissa’s testimony underscores the disastrous consequences of poorly conceived migration policies. She expressed her deep disappointment in the mayor’s reluctance to acknowledge the adverse impact of these policies on the safety of Nantes’ inhabitants, attributing it to ideological reasons. Importantly, Melissa divulged that even individuals who are progressive privately recognize the problems associated with migrants but hesitate to address them publicly.

This sentiment among concerned residents reflects a broader concern that Nantes, a city steeped in Breton culture, is gradually losing its distinctive heritage and identity due to shifting demographics. Melissa’s assertion that Nantes is becoming more like Islamic Kabul indicates the significant cultural transformation witnessed in the city.

When the mayor of your town is no longer concerned for the citizens' safety, the time may have come to just bugger out. How sad for Nantes.

  1. Why do mayors like this one (and similarly in places like Portland or SF) continue to get elected? Things will continue to deteriorate worldwide until the majority stands together and shouts, "Enough!".
