[machine translation]

FN passed the last municipal, common Hayange (Moselle) however, is not a mark of fascists, 
as demonstrated by the participation of many people in an anti-fascist demonstration on 
May 31 It's rebuilding class solidarity that palliate the effects of anti-social policies 
that the bed of the far right. ---- "Anti-Fascist, anti-capitalist! It's hot, it's hot, 
it's hot for fascists! " These are the words that resonated Saturday, May 31, in the early 
afternoon, against the walls of City Hall Hayange, echoing the results of the municipal 
election two months earlier. ---- As part of the anti-fascist unit libertarian campaign 
(Claf) Alternative libertarian Moselle and Lorraine CNT held a rally outside the town hall 
Hayange with power words of these two organizations, followed by a demonstration in the 
city center. More than two hundred people, including many many Hayangeois, joined the 
libertarian and anti-capitalist to denounce the illegitimacy of Fabien Engelmann, who, 
after going through Workers' Struggle, the NPA and the CGT, a turncoat for the FN and was 
elected mayor of that town devastated valley Fensch.

A vote of distress than membership

Elected with less than 20% of the votes and edged by a low turnout, the jump seat of the 
traitor Engelmann based on a vote of distress than membership, reflecting a terrible 
dismay attacks of the employers and the capitalist policies of successive governments, 
they claim the right or left. The election of mayors FN or extreme right in a dozen other 
cities in different regions if necessary proves the generality of the phenomenon that 
transcends local idiosyncrasies.

The vast majority of Hayangeois Hayangeoises and does not identify hate the mayor FN. It 
is primarily desertification downtown, the closure of several hospital departments and 
Hayange blast furnace which allowed the extreme right, by his demagogic speeches, settling 
in this city rolled by global competition. The strength of the FN, it is the weakness of 
class solidarity. The growth of the party relies on isolation, fear and hopelessness 
caused by the impoverishment of millions of people, an inevitable consequence of the 
capitalist system that made its thirst for profits come first. It therefore becomes 
imperative to organize to counter the capitalist offensive widespread in these times of 
social demolition controlled by the PS.

However, the urgency of the situation should not lead us to do without a thorough analysis 
of what fascism, shape it can take today as the context of occurrence of this 
authoritarian movement starts dating, in order to best adapt our attack against.

Anyway, one thing is sure, it is only by strengthening the mobilization against the 
anti-social policies of the government, reaffirming and applying practical libertarian and 
egalitarian ideas of class struggle, recover and sharing wealth, we will back the brown 
plague. Only the social struggle can afford it because the elections whatsoever, even 
under the guise of Republican front, have never been a bulwark against the far right.
