They want to say “no” to the extreme right. Dozens of demonstrations are planned in France, Saturday, April 16, at the call of many organizations and unions, including the League of Human Rights (LDH), the CGT or the Syndicate of the Judiciary (SM). Eight days before the second round of the presidential election, these organizations will meet around the slogan “Against the far right and its ideas, no Marine Le Pen at the Elysée”.

In Paris, the procession will leave Place de la Nation at 2 p.m., heading for Place de la République. “By rejecting Marine Le Pen, it is a question of preventing the advent of a destructive social project of the rule of law, of the social and united democratic Republic that we defend every day. It is a question of denouncing its misleading program that would hit the weakest, the poorest, women, LGBTI or foreign people hard”they explain in a press release published on the LDH website.

Among the many signatories, the Syndicat des avocats de France, the Confédération paysanne, the student organizations Fage, FSE, MNL and Unef, the trade union Solidaires, the NGOs Oxfam, Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth, the associations Attac, Droit au logement and FCPE, or the anti-racist movements Mrap and SOS Racisme.
