the Communist Party calls for “a new stage with a new type of union”

The Communist Party calls for “a new stage for the left with a new type of union”in a press release that franceinfo obtained this Sunday.

This declaration comes at a time when La France Insoumise finds itself isolated within Nupes due to its positions considered ambiguous on the war between Hamas and Israel, and its difficulties in clearly qualifying the Islamist movement as terrorist.

“The seriousness of the international situation, as in France, calls on the left to live up to its responsibilities. Unfortunately, it is not. It is time to open a new stage for the left with a new type of “union, allowing debate between us as well as with citizens and trade union organizations, with an ambitious, useful social transformation project, with a majority vocation”writes the National Council of the PCF.

“La Nupes has become a dead end”

The leadership of the French Communist Party met this weekend to discuss its future within Nupes. For her, “Nupes, as it was constituted for the legislative elections under the hegemonic will of LFI, has become an impasse”.

>> For the national secretary of the Greens, Nupes “has become, somewhere, a subject of despair”

The time has therefore come for the PCF to “build a gathering in the image of the inter-union which carried the movement against pension reform and continues today on the basis of simple principles: mutual respect, full sovereignty of each of the organizations, struggles and initiatives on the basis of fights and shared projects“, the press release continues. “This is why the leadership of the PCF, meeting today in a national council, is launching an appeal to all available forces, to citizens, associations, trade unionists, socialists, ecologists and rebels, radicals and republicans of left who share this ambition for social progress, for justice and for peace.”.
