Polls have opened in the first round of France’s most unpredictable and high-stakes presidential election in decades, with far-Right leader Marine Le Pen and the maverick centrist Emmanuel Macron leading the field.Marine Le Pen casts her vote in the first round of voting on Sunday

A Le Pen victory could lead to the collapse of the European Union, experts warn, but after the victory of Donald Trump in the US and the Brexit vote in Britain most agree that there is no safe bet in the French race.

 A last minute surge in the polls has lifted the hopes and aspirations of Marine Le Pen going into today’s elections. Three heavyweights are brawling for the top two spots. Le Pen’s surge is due to the latest shooting in Paris. Just as Obama was the best gun salesman ever known, the Jihadist is the best “get out the vote” for Le Pen. French cuisine is known for its gastric delights, but to swallow an Islamic diet of death is not what the French ordered. Le Pen, leader of the National Front brings to the table the same issues that Trump brought. “Our country is being invaded by foreigners who find it difficult to simulate into our culture, but want us to accept theirs.”

Areas of Paris are “no go zones” suburban ghettos inhabited by Muslim thugs who target outsiders with threats of physical harm.  These banlieues harbor drug dealers, murders and thieves. They have their own mini government. Gendarmes fear to enter these areas. Roché said nothing had changed since 2005 – “neither the police’s policy, nor the very high level of hostility in the poor suburbs” – and warned that any violence could quickly spread. “It spreads from one poor banlieue to another … The fuel is the anger and hostility towards the police forces.”

French politicians are underestimating the level of anger in the country’s troubled banlieues, which risks sparking an explosion of violence, experts have warned.

The alert comes after another night of violence and arrests in several Paris suburbs. Suspects appeared in court on Tuesday on charges of civil disturbances including torching cars and dustbins and attacks on the emergency services.

The unrest erupted after a 22-year-old man, Théo, was allegedly raped during a violent police arrest.

Academics have accused French politicians of failing to deal with the tinderbox conditions in the banlieues or suburban estates, which they say could spark a national wave of riots in the run-up to the presidential elections in April and May.
