Version imprimableMacron embodies an illegitimate, moribund, weak and hated power. With each passing day, the crisis of the regime deepens. Macron is now incapable of finding a government that can last more than a few days. In this context, he will have to push his alliances further and further to the right, until he brings the RN to power. Whether he does so by appointing an RN prime minister or by dissolving the National Assembly, his only roadmap is to continue the supply-side policy that serves the richest and the employers. The RN will pursue violently anti-migrant, racist and freedom-destroying policies, in addition to being openly favourable to the ruling classes. Le Pen and Bardella have long since given all their pledges to employers and the MEDEF (French Business Confederation).
While Macron presented himself in 2017 as the supposed bulwark against the far right, he has paved the way for it during his two terms in office. He bears full responsibility for the crisis we are experiencing. There is only one thing left for him to do: leave!
Tomorrow or in a few days, the RN and behind it all the most reactionary, authoritarian and racist forces in this country could take power (as they have already done in the USA, Russia and Israel). Faced with this grim prospect, the NPA-l’Anticapitaliste calls on the entire social and political left to discuss and meet urgently to prepare for the victory of our camp and to block the far right. First and foremost, we must strengthen the mobilisations that will follow the successful ones of 10 and 18 September. Political organisations, trade unions, associations, ‘Bloquons tout’ (Let’s block everything), we must march together around a programme that has majority support among the population: the programme based on that of the NFP and the demands that the inter-union group put forward for 18 September constitute a basis for a popular government of rupture.
In the broadest possible unity, workers and young people must take back the offensive and, through their mobilisations, impose a genuine social, democratic and environmental break with the past. Our slogans to put an end to Macron and the Fifth Republic: unity of the social and political forces of the left, general strike, workers’ government and constituent assembly! Everything must be done to ensure that these demands, which are supported by the majority of the population, are met as quickly as possible: a genuine sharing of wealth, taxation of the rich, a ban on redundancies, retirement at 60, the development of public services and free access to them, and increases in wages, pensions and all social minima!
Let’s all take to the streets together!
