À l'initiative de plusieurs député·es de gauche, le Front Populaire nait ! En espérant que ça aille très vite très loin et qu'on remporte les élections législatives que notre président nous impose en moins de 20 jours...
Pour rappel :
les élections européennes finissent avec l'extrême-droite en premier parti en France, et de manière globale une montée de l'extrême-droite et des conservateurs,
la gauche a fait des résultats médiocres, les partis écolos sont descendus en flèche... Bref, rien ne va,
Macron a annoncé la dissolution de l'Assemblée Nationale dans la foulée des résultats, nous imposant des élections législatives pour la remplacer les 30 juin et 7 juillet.
Il faut répliquer, vite et fort ! Ce n'est pas le moment de se décourager, mais bien d'agir !
Interpellez les député·s (ou candidat·es) de gauche de votre circonscription pour lui demander (imposer) de rejoindre le Front Populaire. Cela inclut évidemment les écolos, il faut remettre de l'écologie dans la politique. C'est vital.
On a pas le temps pour chipoter, pour choisir un programme parfait ou quoi que ce soit. On doit avoir une liste commune et tou·tes voter pour, c'est tout. Sinon les fascistes (Rassemblement National) risquer de frôler la majorité...
Faites tourner, ne restez pas seul·e dans votre coin, rejoignez un groupe local de votre parti (même si c'est juste pour avoir les infos et ne pas forcément participer aux réunions ou quoi, osef), collez des affiches, gueulez dans la rues, sortez en manifestation, faites en sorte de ne laisser personne se dire que voter RN c'est pas si mauvais que ça.
Y'a des vies en jeu.
Si vous ne le faites pas pour vous, faites-le pour vos ami·es, ou juste par sympathie/compassion/empathie pour les autres. Pour le futur. Whatever. Y'a toujours une bonne raison de se battre ✊
I am terrified tonight.
Tonight, March 5th, my president talk to France. God, I am terrified.
What is going on in the world ? Between Russia, the US and now Europe ? Fuck, I am european. It terrifies me. He's talking about creating a european army, to 'defend'. But fucking hell ! you can just see he wants to go to war, so he can stay president longer !
I'm going to put what he said -cause I found it-, and put the translation for the non-french speakers : "C’est notre sécurité qui est menacée. Si un pays peut envahir un autre en Europe, c’est la paix qui est menacée" -It is our security that is threatened. If one country can invade another in Europe, peace is threatened- Yay, national security, how nice ! You're going to cost us. Even if he says that it wont, it will.
"La menace russe est là, et touche les pays d’Europe. La Russie a fait du conflit ukrainien un conflit mondial" -The Russian threat is there, and affects the countries of Europe. Russia has made the Ukrainian conflict a global conflict- New world war ? Welp, I'm studying history. Never really intended to live what I'm studying...
"Qui peut croire que la Russie d’aujourd’hui s’arrêtera à l’Ukraine ?" -Who can believe that today's Russia will stop at Ukraine?- They won't. Unfortunately, in my opinion, unless Putin dies -and even then, nothing is sure-, they will continue. They will be world war soon.
"Nous restons attachés à l'Otan, et à notre partenariat avec les États-Unis. Mais l'avenir de l'Europe n'a pas à être tranché à Washington et à Moscou." -We remain committed to NATO, and to our partnership with the United States. But the future of Europe does not have to be decided in Washington and Moscow.- This is probably the thing I agree the most : peace shall not be made outside Europe. It is not a matter from the US to decide who's right and who's wrong. It is not to the US to decide who wins or not. But, arms race is not the answer either. Unfortunately, it seems we do no longer have a choice.
And you know what's even more terrifying ? My brother. He listen, arrived arround half the speech, and then tried to tell us that it was not so bad. That the world wasn't changing a super speed. That, no, our president wasn't trying, in subtext, to invite more people to join the army. He does not believe war can start that fast -we told him he could'nt wait 'till he finished his masters degree at the speed the world is moving, he doesn't want to believe us.
I am shaking, 45 minutes after the speech begun. I am terrified. I feel like I'm going to throw up. I am simply terrified. I would love this text to be one of my dystopian creation. Unfortunately, it is the world today. And fuck, I don't want to be in that world.
So. The rest.
I feel so much by all this.
It's not good quality : yeah normal. It was pretty much night time (we love a 8am class).
But it talks about macron (french president), trump and musk (they don't deserve to have the majuscules at their names : I don't respect people like them.)
And lastly : the Antifa that we have nearly everywhere. We are in the history buildings of the uni. We know how it happened 90 years ago. It is litteraly my class as I'm typing this.
Always say no to fascism. They promess you things. They won't give it to you. They dont care about you.
So... Yesterday my university -in France- was blocked by other people :
It's says : fuck Elon Musk (on the bench : death to Trump)
No need to translate that : we know it even here
Do a Luigi please
That's a french politique, and it's says fuck him
Once again : no need to translate
I'm gonna need to reblog it to add more, 'cause there's so much.
And I don't usually post this kind of things here but.... I went past that wall, went into the next building, and knew I had to go back. I find it really powerful. One of my friends said it was dirty and not well done. I don't agree.
