France has been shaken up by a 10-minute rap song written by twenty rappers who oppose Le Pen's National Rally party. It was released on the web and titled No Pasaran (They will not pass), the slogan used by the anti-fascist Spaniards during the Spanish Civil War.
Following the results of the first round of elections in France, the rappers deliver a clear message - stop the rise of the extreme right. However, the song may result in the opposite happening because the work is defined in French newspapers as "angry, exaggerated, insulting, and sometimes misogynistic and promotes conspiracy theories."
One of the most prominent phrases in it is "Palestine from the river to the sea", which will certainly not cause the still undecided voter who fears the risk of a takeover of France immigrants from the Middle East, to vote for the leftist parties.
