(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL - Municipal Berezina: Netherlands held the pink carpet at the far right (fr, pt)

In the municipal elections of March 23 and 30, the PS has lost more than 150 cities in 
favor of the UMP and FN - prevails in effect in fifteen cities. We can not of course but 
feel bitterness and anger at the undeniable growth of the extreme right party, but only 
talk about vague "blue" or "navy" as most politicians or journalists, c is to ignore the 
very low turnout that marked these elections. Here the analysis of the results proposed 
AL. ---- It must first be noted that the rise of the extreme right is the direct result of 
policies pursued by the UMP and PS governments which, for years, have trampled the rights 
of working people to enrich the capital. ---- Discouraging collective solidarity and 
building on the withdrawal and individual guilt addressing social problems (unemployment), 
governments have merely preserve the soil in which antisocial pushes the FN. But it was 
nice to denounce the "UMPS system" because the leaders of the far right party come from 
the same world of the bourgeoisie, the capitalist class. And, once in power, they would 
conduct themselves as a policy for employers and wealthy.

However, the polarization of political life by FN (although helped by the fund media 
resonance) results in an unfortunate race shallot in terms of migration and security 
policy: rather than fight the far right on the ideological field by proposing another 
social project, the liberal left uses the same strings as the right and try to beat the FN 
at his own game It's completely suicidal and the appointment of Valls Matignon only 
confirmed this leakage before a political class disconnected from people's problems.

Finally, the low turnout once again demonstrates the loss of legitimacy of the ruling 
political class and all its institutions. This confidence is expressed in even a large 
part of the social left, which is not found even in parties "left of the left". Because 
they are collective struggles and real solidarity that will restore hope to change 
society, not campaign promises and campaign speeches.

Alternative to Libertarian things are clear: The fight against the extreme right through 
the revitalization of social movements. It is highlighting other solidarities other 
responses to capitalist barbarism we can curb the thrust of FN and fascist groups. And 
deal with current policies, there is an urgent need to mobilize and take the street. If 
we want change, we must take from below, developing social struggles and organizing truly 
democratic way . Creation of local collective mobilization for walking April 12 is a 
first attempt in this direction.

Libertarian, egalitarian revolution remains to be done!
