How To Build A Playground For Rats

News Front

Good evening to you all,


Here are my first impressions after the first few weeks (intenses!) campaign:

March 26 in Romans: "Fireproof"
First public meeting where I stand for united left (in a rather "ad hoc" from a few notes from the "Declaration of Incorporation United Left of the March 14, 2009) with Jean Bernard Suchel for the Left Party and Jacki Henin outgoing MEP CPF and tops the list in the northern constituency (where our friend Ernie Councillor Michele in Saint Etienne du Rouvray near Rouen is in 2nd position).
130 people in the room and a debate where the unitary step of our young political movement has attracted interest and even sympathy for the "applause" but especially in exchanges with fellow claiming the "Federation" but I don ' have not convinced him to join the campaign.
Roundtrip, alone in the car but brotherly "old" knowledge activist who moved from Lyon in the beautiful department of Drôme (which does not mean that the Rhone is not! but the Lyon side "quality of life" Hum! ahem!): Jean Bernard and "Nizou.

April 2 the great "métingue" Saint-Etienne: "Guess who just cause"
Indeed, initially united left was not expected to menu (or "cheese" or "dessert." My insistence warm and my arguments, plus some friendly pressure national it must be said, eventually convince our colleagues locally CPF of the Loire that our presence was a plus and I am transformed into a "surprise guest" alongside MG Buffet for FCP and Claude Debons for the Left Party.
I think I've been up to these prestigious players in all this my I have tried to raise me and then I had a written intervention Potash entirely (thank you Michele).
430 participants. No debate but poignant struggles (especially against the closure of the radiography unit in Roanne in particular).
There we were 2, with my old friend Denis. The invitation of local comrades of the Left Party, which also joined the militants unit of the Federation, at lunch with Claude Debons ("a friend of 30 years" for Denis and I) made us heart-warming. During the trip we went back we note that a badge "United Left" and a press table with our first policy documents placed on our national site, it would not hurt ...


April 8: First meeting of the list Left Front Southeast in Marseille at the request of our heads list of "openness" Marie-Christine VERGIAT;
It was an opportunity to "Knowledge" and note his strong desire to treat all components of the Left Front to bring equality and transparency in decision-making campaign so they are shared as much as possible even if it is normal campaign has started without waiting for the formation of UNIT LEFT!
A meeting-press conference presentation of candidates of the Bouches du Rhone FCP and PG and the top of the list Marie-Christine and me Vergiat UNITED LEFT stood before a hundred people (see videos ), outdoors in front of the newspaper La Marseillaise who reported with page "one" the next day.
And the photograph shows Aline Denis and because this time we were 3 in the car! but still no buttons or press table ... and a big thank you to Helen of PG 13 was a "guide" valuable urban geography as Marseille for the political geography of the department.

8 April: meeting with Fountains (near Grenoble) with Elsa Johnstone UNITED LEFT.
Being single united left candidate on the list of Left Front and not the gift of ubiquity, I do not insure all meetings.
We decided that other UNITED LEFT intervene comrades and especially Elsa National Committee member like me.
She did brilliantly that night in front of 400 people. Elsa Bravo, this is just the beginning ... A
video gives an idea of the diversity of the Left Front in Isère, consisting of PC, left, of United Left but also the association PAG 38 (For an Alternative to Left in Isère), created in response to the Request for policy and departmental call the same spirit.

April 17: meeting with Roanne Roanne (original) Marie-Christine and Francis Wurtz Vergiat (MPP and chairman of the outgoing European Parliament GUE-Affirming):
At the press conference preceding the meeting, the two local journalists had eyes only for "Chimene" local ... and his "Cid" when was at PS ... JF Auroux came by to greet friends (I have no newspapers the next day) to 130 people is
Sylvie Pierron (PCF), Celine Meneses (PG) M Chritine Vergiat, Francis Wurtz and me GU to have presented our arguments for another Europe and exchanged with those demanding a room where what is consciousness speaking the seriousness of the social situation, the urgency of a political alternative to the left but skepticism about the future of the Left Front in excess of 7 June saw a failed bid illiberal unit and 2007 and attitude of division of the NPA, whose militants were present in the room but did not intervene as they organize a meeting soon with their top.
The comrades of the section of PCF Roanne we have offered a fellowship meal and we went ... 2am in Lyon: this time we were 4 in the car with Francis Wurtz, and Sylvie Celine. A true crew "Front Left!

Tomorrow evening I will attend this time at the next committee meeting in support of the Left Front in my district in Lyon: Croix Rousse committee -Peninsula.

The reasons for my involvement in the Left Front

Hello to you all,
After you have outline of my career activist, and I will wish my engantement give you reasons for my candidacy in the European elections in the list of the Left Front in the South East.

The crisis of capitalism, politics and neoliberal neoconservative SARKOZY, are raising strong social storm in France and Europe.
Liberalism Economic failed to provide basic rights to life: employment, income, shelter, education, culture ... in short, a present and future human resources for all. We need a left anti-capitalist to implement urgent measures of social transformation in France and Europe. It must unite in the struggle as in the elections, speaking from June 7 to the European elections.

United Left was created with activists from the LCR and the NPA do not accept the position of "alone" that he took when he has any place in the FRONT LEFT alongside the PCF and the Left Party.
is why I am running under UNITED LEFT in the FRONT LEFT FOR CHANGE OF EUROPE.

Yes it is urgent because of counteracting the dangers of nationalist folds there are more than ever in Europe, but which Europe?
The debate over the construction of Europe raises forcefully the question of what society we want to build. There are two logical left:

Either you adapt, it accompanies the liberal construction of the EU, through the Treaty of Lisbon, submits to the logic of free and undistorted competition. It is the policy of the PES and the Socialist Party in France.
Hand there is a policy of breaking with the logic of profit, an anti capitalist who defend to the end the interests of classes and do not abandon the road.
The first challenge we have before us in this campaign for European elections is to overcome the failure, neglect this term, or even withdrawal.
This disinterest is not inevitable. The No campaign to TCE in 2005 proved that we could demonstrate the challenges to a wide scale debate on what Europe we want.
The condition for this is to make the link between the everyday concerns of majority of the population and issues of European integration.
face of redundancy is at the European level we have to impose a ban on layoffs in companies that make profits, the veto of employee organizations in the social. We must question the precarious and the commodification of labor, after the name of "flexicurity" that defends the European Commission in its Green Paper on the Labour Market (2006).
to defend wages and purchasing power, the ECB policy that it must be challenged. Because the ECB has aimed to preserve the same pattern "growth" inequitable and destructive of the planet that failed, limiting wage increases on behalf of the fight against inflation.
to defend public services, hospitals, schools, post office, transportation. It is on a European scale it is necessary to prolong the struggle against the guidelines of liberalization. The laws passed in France are only the translation of these guidelines ... after the governments of each EU member state have given their green light under the Council of Europe!
in our struggle in schools on the workplace in defense of undocumented and for which we claim the right to vote in these elections is on a European scale that battles are fought, too. In particular we call for the repeal of the directive of shame, voted with the backing of a party of European Socialists, which provides up to 5 years imprisonment for (an) immigrant (e) irregular, without trial, and divert children without parents, in other countries they do not know.

last example is particularly important. A few months ago, we were demonstrating against the bombing in Gaza. The impunity enjoyed by officials Israel would not be possible without the support of the United States but also without the tacit support of the EU, and Sarkozy in particular in the framework of the strengthened cooperation between the EU and the State of Israel!

On each of these issues, elected representatives of the Left Front will support points to defend our rights, to support mobilizations and defend a left alternative.
UNITED LEFT is the third component of the Left Front, which is open to other components of the anti-liberal left, to trade unionists, activists (s) together more associative and by far the largest number of citizen (do) s
Therefore I conclude by addressing myself particularly to the comrades of the NPA, alternatives and the Federation who want a dynamic unit to the left of social transformation provides a first positive signal left on June 7 which will appeal to others: do not hesitate, it's time, join us in the FRONT LEFT FOR ANOTHER EUROPE.

My career

Hello everyone and everything,

To start, here are some elements of presentation of my personal and activist.

son of a English woman who had fled Franco and a father who experienced the camps beaches of Roussillon which 500,000 were penned "Red English Republicans during the" Retirada "70 years ago, I have been" vaccinated "to militant anti-fascism and the social question.
student leader from May 68 to Perpignan, I joined the Communist League in Montpellier (delegate at the founding convention). I became Lyon from 1973, and subsequently became a local leader and national LCR.

I participated actively in the fight against Franco's dying, anti-military struggles (1975) in the mobilizations against the extreme right. I had an active role against the alliance Million / FN in the Rhone-Alpes (1998) under the "Lyon Coordination of care" which I was one of the founders.
I had a strong trade union experience to the MSA and the Rhone at Lyon Grand where I work and I exercise the responsibilities of unions and elected personnel for 22 years. I also have responsibilities among national union engineers, managers and technicians Territorial Public Services, through my experience (decentralization, intercommunity).
minority member of the LCR unitary current, I contributed to the consolidation unit and pluralistic Lyon " A Gauche Autrement "(1998, 2001) and audacity (radical left unitary, anti-globalization and environmental decreasing) for Municipal 2008.
After leading the battle to the end unit at the federal leadership of the Rhone of the LCR and within the NPA Croix-Rousse, I participated in the creation of the united left, and I am very happy today be a candidate of the Left Front on the list of the Southeast.
