°Õ±ð³¾±è±ð²õ³ÙÌýinterviewed Marxist activist John Mullen about anti-capitalist organising and the need for unity to overcome divisions within the left in France.
After France’s recent parliamentary elections, President Emmanuel Macron refused to allow the Nouveau Front Populaire left alliance to form government. Tempest interviewed Marxist activist John Mullen about the challenges facing the left in France following the formation of the new right-wing government.
French president Emmanuel Macron has named right-wing politician Michel Barnier as Prime Minister, ignoring the popular vote that gave the left-wing alliance Nouveau Front Populaire the largest group in the National Assembly, reports John Mullen.
Whatever government is formed in France will be a minority government. But mass mobilisation will be key to how things play out over the coming month, reports John Mullen.
John Mullen and Zane Alcorn discuss how the left must respond to the far right at a forum hosted by Â鶹´«Ã½ and Socialist Alliance on July 30.
French President Emmanuel Macron does not plan to appoint a new Prime Minister until at least mid-August and is holding out hope he can cobble together a coalition and block the left from government, writes John Mullen.
Paris-based anticapitalist activist and Â鶹´«Ã½ contributor John Mullen spoke to German publication Marx21 on July 12 about the July 7 French election result and the immediate challenges for the left.
Millions of people are feeling tremendous relief at the French election results, writes John Mullen. But vigilance and mobilisation are required to prevent a victory being turned into a defeat for working people.
The victory of the far right in the first round of elections in France is a severe setback. However the left has also made real advances. John Mullen outlines an anti-capitalist perspective on the deep political crisis in France.
While elections are not at the centre of class struggle, the formation of left-wing electoral alliance the New Popular Front has inspired a wider and deeper anti-fascist mobilisation in France, argues John Mullen.
John Mullen argues that anti-capitalists should unite around the new left electoral alliance, Nouveau Front Populaire, while continuing to mobilise in the streets against the far-right.
