WORLD WORLDWIDE FRANCE - news journal UPDATE - (en) France, UCL leaflet: Racist, authoritarian and violent: the RN is the plague and cholera (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 The dissolution of the Assembly and the announcement of elections on

June 30 and July 7 bring the threat of the RN to power. The far right in
charge is an authoritarian, racist, sexist, liberal program that
reinforces inequalities by continuing the destruction of public
services. ----- The extreme right takes power through the ballot box but
does not give it back ---- The extreme right parties claim to be
democratically elected to justify the application of their program. In
reality, they seek first to guarantee their own power. In the USA and
Brazil, fascist groups attempted a coup d'état after their defeat in the
elections. Like Putin, far-right heads of state rig elections to stay in
power. In Hungary, Orban established his power through control of the
media and universities. To keep power, the RN wants to modify the
constitution and put the public media under the orders of Bolloré.
Voting for the RN means abandoning all hope of democracy.

The RN in power in the Fifth Republic, a catastrophe for freedoms
The RN in power could rely on a Fifth Republic that is authoritarian by
nature which will facilitate the application of its racist and
anti-social policies. He would crush opposition by reducing political
freedoms, freedom of the press or association, the right to strike, as
he did in the cities he conquered. The RN in power is a major risk for
the struggle unions which it has always tried to replace with
corporatist and nationalist "unions". Control of the justice system or
prefectures could allow it to lock in its control over the state
apparatus. At the repressive level, the RN in power is the guarantee of
an explosion of police violence.

The RN in power, unbridling fascist street violence
Around the RN are numerous small fascist groups, which carry out the
work of harassment against the progressive forces for it. They are today
present throughout the territory, increasing violence and attacks. On
the evening of the European elections and in the days that followed,
fascist attacks increased, sometimes even under the passive gaze of "the
forces of a so-called republican order". If the RN is in power, street
groups will attack with impunity.

So faced with the extreme right, what to do?
If we call without illusions or scruples to vote for the NFP lists to
prevent the RN from coming to power, we know that the extreme right will
only retreat in the face of a strong, offensive and united social movement.

Let's join all the unitary street mobilizations
Let us strengthen grassroots unity in our unions, associations and
collectives
Let us reaffirm our unwavering solidarity everywhere with all those
targeted by far-right policies.
Let's come together in existing anti-fascist collectives and expand them
Let's join UCL to work to take back power for ourselves
Everywhere and right now, the urgency is to organize to discuss and act
in your workplace, in your neighborhood and in the street. Let's build
the democratic spaces necessary for our class!

Popular front against the reactionaries, social revolution against capital!
