WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE FRANCE PARIS - news journal UPDATE - (en) Frace, Mond Libertaire: ML Editorial No. 1863: The people have the last word! (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 The morning after the legislative election of July 7, 2024, I let myself

go and listen to the columnists, political scientists and other copycats
of the capitalist press on France Inter, the voice of its master. ----
It's political chaos! Ungovernable France (I'm jubilant)! The debt is
going to explode! The extreems! and finally the winner is still the
Rhaine who, it's true, will end up with some 150 deputies in the
National Assembly. ---- But what exactly is this parliament for since
Macronie. It is flouted, denied with carte blanche, precisely by the
parliamentarians themselves. This Guignol theater represents nothing and
especially not the people. ---- A rejection of the RHaine? ---- Yes,
certainly many voters wanted not to endorse the coming to power of the
party of hatred and racism. This is, I think, undeniable.

But beyond that, wouldn't these same voters have understood that in no
case was this fascist party in any way the party of the people? None of
the pen-pushers on duty had the intelligence and the will to say this.
In fact, many, like the anarchists, have demonstrated it well and widely
disseminated it. Under Macronie, the RHaine was a faithful collaborator
in voting for the anti-social and brutal laws of Macron and his clique,
sometimes abstaining kindly like a good doggie.

Yet this is a path to explore that all these subsidized supporters of
capitalism obviously do not wish to consider. In essence, what
immigration was presented as the scapegoat for all the country's
problems is also swept aside with a well-felt backhand blow by the
electorate. The latter preferred the path of social measures and
primarily the abolition of the retirement and unemployment laws, the
revaluation of salaries. Security is fine, but social security first!
The people's first concern is to be able to house and feed themselves.
Let's finally say it!

How can we turn the test into a success?

We should not expect anything from politicians to come up with
solutions, means of government... The worst alliances will have to be
put in place, leading to an unproductive and chaotic mishmash.

For those who could give credence to the verdict of the ballot boxes,
let them rely on the fact that the winning movement in terms of the
number of deputies is the New Popular Front, which should therefore
implement its program. But how?

We did not believe here that reforming capitalism was a solution for the
workers and all the struggling people of this country. But what can be
done immediately to lift as many people as possible out of poverty must
be done.

The weakness of this relative majority in the National Assembly requires
it to seek alliances. She will not find it in the political quagmire.
She will find her salvation in the mobilization of the people, demanding
not to be betrayed on the promises made by this left, not at all extreme.

It is the street that must take over. The street and the company. And as
I write these few lines, this July 8, 2024, I am stunned by the
deafening silence of the union environment which, this time, should
unite to decree the unlimited general strike until the effective
implementation of the political promises.

Perhaps here again we should not expect too much from the apparatus and
leadership of the unions. It is basically to impose it and if necessary
to free ourselves from the instructions and non-instructions of their
bureaucrats. The unions must become unions again now and no longer be
social partners, that is to say, co-managers of destructive capitalism.

The last word to the people!
