Missing in Action: The French New Popular Front

“The NFP squandered the political opportunity, first building election alliances with Macron on the false grounds that this would block the neo-fascists, then publicly debating whether to join a government still committed to carrying out Macron’s policies. The recent strengthening of Macron is a bitter lesson on the unprincipled alliances championed by Mélenchon.”

“Not once has Mélenchon sought to mobilize in struggle the millions of workers who gave him their votes to oppose Macron… Though it had the support of all of France’s union bureaucracies, the NFP failed to call a single strike to mobilize the power of the working class against war, and genocide.”
