"Scène Vivante" teableau for 07/15/24

This teableau signifies “le cordon sanitaire,” meaning the French election's result in various parties coming together to maintain a safe corridor against far right extremism. It's shaky, but it's holding for now.

@Moodys Moody's who has issued this diatribe against government spending on social programs is the same company that sold Triple "A" ratings to the banks and investment houses that were pushing those dogshit mortgage bonds that almost collapsed the western economies in 2008. US Gov't used billions in taxpayer money to bail out the offending banks and investment houses. Yeah, we're gonna take advice from Moody's. #Moodys #FrenchElection #FrenchElections #France #Euronews

NEW PODCAST 🚨

A surprise left-wing election win? In Europe? In 2024? This week, we turn to our resident Parisian journalist to try to get our heads around what just happened in France, as well as what might happen next.

#podcast #france #FrenchElection #election #news #europe #eu #politics

For years on this channel, we've been talking about the need for the US left to detach from the Democratic Party and for the existing, mostly quite small left parties to join together in a #LeftCoalition or #LeftCongress to intensify the class struggle and increase workers' economic and political power. This week in France, the Nouveau Front Populaire (NFP) or New Popular Front, which has done just that, took the lead in the national elections and, together with the "center" ("moderate" right) forces behind Macron, pushed the extreme-right Marine Le Pen and her fascist National Rally party into third place at a time when they had been expected to win control of the government.

The NFP includes parties from the center-left to the far-left such as Jean-Luc Mélenchon's France Unbowed (La France Insoumise or LFI), Mitterand's and Hollande's Socialist Party (PS), the French Green Party (LE-EELV), and the French Communist Party (PCF), among others. While all of these deserve significant criticism and most likely will not be able to guide the French masses out of capitalism in their present form, they are far preferable in the short term to Macron's neoliberal austerity ghouls or the flat-out neo-Nazis of the National Rally. The French masses now must take every opportunity to strengthen the fight for better conditions, increased class consciousness, and an independent, internationalist, revolutionary party of the proletariat as they struggle to build a movement capable of ending capitalism in France.

From the NFP's website:

"You asked us; we did it: the new Popular Front was born to govern and change everything.

"We have united, beyond political parties, around a program of rupture, solid, coherent and fair, quantified by economists and experts:

"1) To defend purchasing power and wages;

"2) For public services everywhere, from overseas to the countryside via working-class neighborhoods;

"3) For all women who demand equality and an end to violence;

"4) To defend the climate and living things;

"5) For all those who experience racism, anti-Semitism or Islamophobia;

"6) To defend the Republic against the far right.

"We are the camp of social, ecological, popular victories and peace. Progress and bright tomorrows. Our history is great. We must now write the future of our country."

Aw, poor baby. Did Putin's election influence campaign not bear fruit? World's smallest violin and all that.

Jackass dictators.

Kremlin mopes over French election results – POLITICO

@AlisonCreekside And this is a bad thing why? It was Conservative economic policies in the UK including Brexit that, to quote John Carney, turned the UK into "Argentina On The Thames." Why this assumption that progressive policies are incompatible with a strong economy? Doesn't research prove the opposite? I think some uninformed biases maybe at play here.#Cdnmedia #Cdnmediafail #Canada #Cdnpoli #FrenchElection #FrenchElections

Right wing fascists blaming the process for their party's defeat in the #FrenchElection on Sunday. That process is known as democracy. They hate it when they lose elections because centre and progressive parties get more votes. Sound familiar. #France #cdnpoli #uspol #democracy

🗳️🇫🇷 #FrenchElection
France finds itself in gridlock after the surprise victory of the leftist New Popular Front.

Since Macron came to power, traditional bipartisanship has given way to a divided Assembly ⤵️

Gotta eat my words here...
Dass #Macron​s Partei überraschend auf Platz 2 gelandet ist, zeigt dass das Kalkül gar nicht so verkehrt war.

#FrenchElection

Liberté feeling a little relief this morning. As do I.
Well done France!

#FrenchElection #FrenchPolitics

Nice to see France rejecting racism and division #FrenchElection

In the 577-seat #French assembly, it looks like the left wing coalition is expected to have 182 seats, with #Macron 's Ensemble alliance taking 168 and the far-right National Rally and it's allies taking 143. This is not yet the final outcome

A great example of voter apathy from the left. The right are always louder than us, better organised & always turn out to vote. Wankers like Farage, trump, le pen etc scream and shout about how important they are but they do not represent the people, there are more of us than them, please always vote

I took this picture of a defaced Le Pen campaign poster in Paris in 2017. I'm so incredibly grateful that the French have once again rejected the far-right. Vive la France! #France #FrenchElection

Well done France. Common sense prevails! Far right politicians and anyone related to far right organisations are a threat to democracy.
I hope America takes note. The world doesn’t need President Trump…

Marine Le Pen has come 3rd !

#FrenchElection

This is a huge victory !

Vive le socialisme !

Its a relief that a Left-Green alliance called the New Popular Front is set to win the most seats in the #FrenchElection according to the exit poll tonight.

British news outlets are describing this as a surprise given the heavy mood music that was preparing for a win for Marine LePen’s Far Right National Rally.

Why were opinion polls so wrong?

Does having two rounds of elections give electorate a moment to pause and rethink?

Was there an event in France this week that shifted polls?

🗳️🇫🇷 #FrenchElection

In a turnaround after the second round of voting, the left-wing coalition is expected to win the most seats, while Le Pen’s National Rally is projected in third behind Macron’s centrist alliance.

🔴 All results live ⤵️

Tänään ehdin jo miettiä, että jos Bardella nousee Ranskan pm:ksi samaan aikaan kuin Unkari on EU:n pj-maa, niin miten painajaismainen puoli vuotta onkaan edessä. HUH MIKÄ HELPOTUS.
/ What I was thinking earlier today: Bardella becoming French PM while Hungary has the EU presidency would mean a nightmare for the next 6 months. WHAT A HUGE RELIEF.
