Civil society, unions, politicians and associations came together under the banner of the new Cévennes Popular Front; Midi Libre – STEPHANE BARBIER

Under the banner of the new Cévennes popular front, in the presence of Michel Sala (LFI) and Arnaud Bord (PS) designated candidates for the 5th and 4th constituency, nearly 400 people voiced their opposition to the far-right party RN . As well as their commitment to defending the credibility of the political program developed by La France Insoumise, the Socialist Party, the Ecologists and the French Communist Party.

The range of left-wing sensibilities was wide open, Saturday morning, on the square in front of the Cratère theater in Alès. Unions, politicians, associations and civil society gathered under the banner of the New Cévennes Popular Front, the fruit of a political project developed by left-wing parties, have voiced their rejection of the far-right National Rally party which has arrived ;nbsp;well ahead of the European elections on June 9 with 31.37% of the votes cast for his head of the list  Jordan Bardella.

In a direct tone by youth " Bardella get lost " but also by the attachment to humanist values ​​that this party does not embody for Fiona Mula, 37 years old. &quot ; I hear extreme, racist comments around me, it’s not possible. The extreme right remains and will remain the extreme right. I also want to find democracy after all these articles  49.3 used by the Macron government and return to the retirement age at 64."
While the speeches continue at the foot of the CGT sound truck, Jérémy Chaudanson, 34 years old, teacher, details the points of this common program arousing his support coupled with attention to making it credible to undecided and abstentionists (48% during the last European elections.) " The first measure is the capping of 19 students per class. We know that the number of students is decisive for academic success. Then you have to convince. The increase in the minimum wage to 1 600 € and blocking prices will make it possible to demonstrate that another policy is possible. »
An assertion supported by outgoing LFI deputy Michel Sala, reappointed to the 5th constituency.
" We don't want the National Rally but it's not just that. We are going to offer something to the French and in particular to all those who abstain and are fed up with Macron's policies. In the first 15 days, when we are in power, we will resolve the problems of health, purchasing power, minimum wage. »

A clownish tax program ?  : " I am on the finance committee and I know how the Macronists and people from the RN fight when we talk about the possibility of taxing super profits. It’s possible to change French taxation. Michel Sala (LFI)

A program qualified as " clownish " by the very right-wing and liberal economist Nicolas Bouzou to whom the outgoing LFI deputy reacts. " I am on the Finance Committee and I know how the Macronists and people from the RN fight when we talk about the possibility of taxing super profits. It’s possible to change French taxation. And we will show that there is money in order to compensate for the expenses put in place. "

The RN is a country of refusal of the other and gagged to the Russian method with the privatization of the media. Arnaud Bord (PS)

The socialist Arnaud Bord invests in the 4th constituency against the RN Pierre Meurin hammers home the obvious " of the characterized risk of the National Gathering and the state in which the country finds itself. The RN vote is the risk of false promises. Thursday evening Jordan Bardella was ready to overthrow Europe, two hours later, he wants to be Prime Minister. See the number of voters betrayed… And then Monday morning, he no longer repealed the pension law. It is clearly an anti-social country that he wants to build. A country of refusal of the other and gagged in the Russian method with the privatization of the media. & raquo;
