As the Olympics start in France and the French election results coming in over 3 weeks ago, Macron continues to delay appointing a new PM. Macron is certainly not winning any medals for democracy.

A shock election win for France's leftist alliance has reinforced wariness among investors who had already braced for the risk of political deadlock and a policy paralysis that's unlikely to improve the country's creaking public finances. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/07/09/markets/french-left-election-investors/ #business #markets #newpopularfront #marinelepen #nationalrally #emmanuelmacron #france #investors

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."

Wow! The #French have truly and delightfully surprised me with a near 70% #voter turnout (significantly higher than usual), and the apparent surge into first place in terms of seats for the far left coalition over #Macron's second place coalition of cowards, and #LePen's third place coalition of #nazis and other #racists.
"The #NewPopularFront will apply its program, nothing but its program, and all of its program."
Take note, at long last @potus #democrats

'Only One Path': #NaomiKlein Says #French Must Rally Around Left Coalition to Avert Fascism"History tells us that #fascism wins when anti-fascist forces refuse to come together to defeat it, with the center fearing a strong left committed to redistribution more than the cruelties of the extreme right."

"#RenaudLambert, journalist at @mdiplo, contextualizes the rise of the #FarRight, and how President #Macron's decision to call snap legislative elections on June 30 and July 7 has prompted the left to form the #NewPopularFront, an unlikely coalition of four left-wing parties. Will this left alliance garner enough support to torpedo a far-right victory in the French parliament?"
