Not far from the meeting of the RN of May 1, an “anti-fascist” village, “an important meeting against the far right”, will settle in Narbonne (Aude) Thursday May 1, explains Philippe Poutou, former NPA candidate in the presidential election, guest of “here Roussillon” (ex-France Bleu) this Thursday morning.
-A sort of face to face will therefore be held in Narbonne, in this May 1, with 5,000 activists from the national rally announced on the Arena for the Party meeting, in the presence of Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella and on the other, three kilometers away, the left, who invites a social and anti -fascist response, at the Narbonne work palace.
The former presidential candidate for the NPA will be present: “It still seems completely crazy to us today that popular circles can trust or think that the extreme right could be a response to the crisis and could find solutions to poverty or unemployment or precariousness”.
Philippe Poutou recognizes that “The problem, too, is above all in fact, because we obviously discuss a lot from the far right”, more “After also, it reveals all the weaknesses of the left, its divisions”. On May 1, the demonstrations will not be unitary either, he regrets: “We have still been taken in boutage logics for a long time and it’s both a routine, suddenly, we have to get out of that.”
The former NPA candidate is “Convinced that it would be a question of rebuilding both a social movement, but also a militant political left in the field. And then of finding radical ideas, ideas of dispute” to rebuild the union. It is also “The idea of finding confidence in ourselves in our social camp, of feeling able to change things by ourselves, rather than delegating that to others, including foreign people at our social camp”.
