Le Nouveau Front populaire à l’assaut de l’Amérique du Nord

Aux Etats-Unis comme au Canada, les militants se pressent pour distribuer les tracts du NFP. Objectif : convaincre les nombreux abstentionnistes et les électeurs Renaissance déçus de voter pour la gauche et faire barrage au RN.

par Salomé Kourdouli, correspondance à Washington, publié aujourd'hui à 11h19

Tracts en main, Christian et Maya gravissent les quelques marches jusqu'à la porte d'entrée. La sonnette retentit et une silhouette s'approche de la porte vitrée. «Bonjour, nous sommes militants du Nouveau Front populaire, on vient vous parler des législatives et de notre candidat, Oussama Laraichi», lance Christian, grand sourire aux lèvres et encore vêtu de son costume, tout juste sorti du travail à Washington. L'échange se poursuit, le programme est détaillé, le parcours du candidat aussi, et Maya insiste, «dans notre circonscription, quatre Français sur cinq ne votent pas, alors chaque voix compte». «Je vais voter en ligne maintenant», sourit la jeune Française en repoussant la porte, le regard complice.

Dans la 1re circonscription des Français de l'étranger, qui comprend les Etats-Unis et le Canada, le Nouveau Front populaire se démène pour s'imposer. Mais la campagne n'est pas simple. Le territoire est immense et même si les consulats tapissent les deux pays, difficile de toucher l'ensemble des 260 000 Français qui y sont dispersés. L'enjeu : l'abstention. En Amérique du Nord, environ 20 % des Français ont voté aux dernières élections législatives de 2022, et tout juste 15 % s'étaient déplacés pour les européennes au début du mois, trois fois moins qu'en France.

Meetings virtuels et réunions physiques

«La campagne est quasiment exclusivement en ligne», explique Oussama Laraichi, candidat pour le NFP, issu du parti Les Ecologistes. Installé aux Etats-Unis depuis dix ans et désormais à Chicago, le candidat participe à plusieurs meetings virtuels et une poignée de réunions physiques. «On crée des événements là où il y a la plus grosse concentration de militants, donc à New York et à Montréal», poursuit-il, ajoutant qu'il «ne faut pas oublier que je suis écologiste, je ne vais pas me déplacer à tout va en avion».

Entre les deux pays, «il y a des différences, le vote au Canada est plus à gauche qu'aux Etats-Unis», détaille Morgane Rolland, suppléante socialiste du Nouveau Front populaire, installée à Washington. Aux Etats-Unis, tout dépend des régions : en Floride par exemple, un Etat conservateur, les Français votent beaucoup plus à droite. Mais globalement, les Français d'Amérique du Nord penchent plutôt pour Renaissance. La gauche, avec la Nupes en 2022, est arrivée juste derrière.

«L'outil le plus important pour notre campagne, c'est la liste électorale consulaire», explique la virologue de profession. Cette liste, accessible pour les candidats en campagne, contient l'ensemble des coordonnées, dont l'adresse et le mail, des Français inscrits sur la liste consulaire. Ce qui permet aux militants comme Christian et Maya, à l'aide d'une carte, de savoir où trouver des électeurs. Et quand la sonnette retentit dans le vide, un tract est coincé dans l'ouverture de la porte ou posé sur la boîte aux lettres - la loi américaine interdit le tractage à l'intérieur des boîtes. Tous recevront de toute façon les mails de campagne.

Francis Cabrel et matchs de l'Euro

Pour toucher un peu plus de Français, les militants ciblent aussi les événements susceptibles de les rassembler. «Notre première opération, c'était le mercredi 12 juin, donc trois jours après l'annonce de la dissolution de l'Assemblée, raconte Sarah El Yafi, militante encartée au Parti socialiste et installée à New York depuis un an. On est allés tracter et chanter devant la salle qui accueillait un concert de Francis Cabrel. On a détourné Petite Marie en "Petite Marine"», se souvient-elle. Au son de «Petite Marine, tu ne passeras pas /La gauche va faire bloc contre toi /Tu n'auras pas ma voix /Tu fais peser sur ma vie /Toutes tes névroses», les militants font entendre la détermination du Nouveau Front populaire. De même, à quelques centaines de kilomètres plus au nord, au Canada, où des militants comme Franck Brulet, engagé chez La France insoumise depuis sept ans, se rendent au concert de Christophe Maé à Gatineau, à côté d'Ottawa, ou aux matchs de France de l'Euro pour tracter.

La difficulté, c'est de faire comprendre qu'un vote pour le Nouveau Front Populaire empêche le Rassemblement National (RN) d'accéder au pouvoir, comme la candidature du RN en Amérique du Nord n'a aucune chance de l'emporter. Dans la circonscription, l'élection se joue entre le candidat macroniste, Roland Lescure, et le Nouveau Front Populaire. «Même si les Français ne votent pas pour faire barrage dans notre circonscription, ils votent pour faire barrage en France. Et pour faire barrage en France, il faut un plus gros groupe Front Populaire», justifie Morgane Rolland. Elle a l'espoir de voir un sursaut chez les Français installés aux Etats-Unis et au Canada. «On a eu Trump ici, on en a vu les conséquences», souffle-t-elle. Signe d'une mobilisation des Français en Amérique du Nord ? Mardi, à l'ouverture du vote en ligne, le site du gouvernement a cessé de fonctionner plus d'une heure, incapable de supporter l'afflux d'électeurs.

D’où cette question, comment s’adapte-t-elle aux dérèglements du climat ?

>The influence of the Atlas Network – a web of libertarian and ultraconservative think tanks funded by billionaires such as the Kochs – has been well documented in the US, the UK, and more recently Argentina following the election of Javier Milei. Its growing presence in the EU has been less examined. But the next EU elections could deliver a political landscape even more favourable to their ideas. This article takes a look at some of the Atlas Network’s partners in Brussels and their activities. > >(...) >To “change the climate of ideas”, the Atlas Network and its partners use a range of influence strategies that sometimes involve manipulation, such as offering falsely neutral expertise or ‘astroturfing’. With these methods, the Atlas Network’s partners have scored important political victories all over the world: spreading climate denialism, influencing referendum outcomes (the Voice in Australia, the referendum on the Chilean constitution, Brexit, etc.) and electing Javier Milei in Argentina. British journalist Georges Monbiot recently asked in The Guardian: “What links Rishi Sunak, Javier Milei and Donald Trump?” Answer: the Atlas Network. > >(...) > >Just as it has in Argentina, in France, and around the world (read our recent investigation in French), the Atlas Network supports, nurtures and promotes its partners throughout Europe. Wherever its influence is felt it promotes a ranch of ultra free market policies that inevitably involve tax cuts for the rich, slashing public spending, massive deregulation, and opposition to climate justice, backed by well-resourced but mostly hidden funders. The politics it is promoting in Europe are no exception, and reflect a similar alliance between extreme neoliberal policies and radical conservative causes, as seen in the US . > >(...) >Free Trade Europa: labour rights as a “violation of freedoms”? > >Although verbal violence is not uncommon on X (formerly Twitter), it is unusual to see a lobbyist publicly rejoicing at the failure of an EU Council Presidency initiative. And even less praising other Member States for giving the Spanish government a ’bloody nose’ when it failed to find a consensus on a law giving employment rights to platform workers [29]. Yet that is exactly what Free Trade Europa did, amply demonstrating the extent to which, at the end of December 2023, on the issue of the legal status of platform workers, two diametrically opposed visions of the world were clashing. > >It was in particular Emmanuel Macron’s France that, in alliance with Estonia, Greece and Germany, defeated the platform workers directive, and Glen Hodgson – head of Free Trade Europa – seems to be congratulating them in his tweet. The initial draft directive drawn up by the European Commission offered the possibility for platform workers – so, people making deliveries for Deliveroo, driving for Uber, etc – to claim the status of employees with the corresponding social rights, which they do not enjoy under a self-employed or freelance status: accident insurance, paid holidays, a minimum wage and union representation. The law was approved after a long lobbying battle [30], but then blocked at the last minute at the Council of the EU, at the behest of France in particular. It was eventually greenlighted in an even more watered-down version in March. > >(...) >After the final vote on the European law on platform workers, Glen talked with Pieter Cleppe, a journalist close to Flemish far-right party the NVA, and castigated the European Union for “regulating, regulating, regulating”. Free Trade Europa is one of a growing number of members of the Atlas Network in Brussels who are determined to roll back regulation, and are counting on the forthcoming European elections and the rise of the right and far right to find more allies in the institutions. The experience of the directive on platform workers shows that on certain issues they can also find common ground with liberals and some EU governments, particularly that of France. > >With far right parties on the rise all over Europe, there are reasons to fear that after the June elections, the EU will tilt further towards a conservative, anti-climate and anti-regulation political agenda. Given the Atlas Network’s decades-long mission of “changing the climate of ideas” and pushing back on social justice and progressive environmental policies it appears to be seeking new allies and more open doors in the EU. With the Europe Liberty Forum which recently took place in Madrid, where 191 organisations from 47 countries were represented, it demonstrated its increased strength in Europe, including in Brussels. After Argentina, the UK, and many other countries, it now has the EU in its sights.

Micro-forest projects are multiplying throughout cities as a new emblem of ecological design of artificial environments. This emerging form of renaturation is bringing a new public narrative investing the discourse of nature based-solutions and civic participation. In Paris, the first micro-forest proposal was carried and implemented by a civic group with the technical and financial support of the municipality. This article analyzes the governance of this nature-based solution through its coproduction, identifying its achievement and challenges on several pilot sites. The analysis shows how a new public narrative is being built from a civic experimentation, while obscuring the difficulties encountered locally by an initiative that faces the territorial complexity of a highly degraded urban environment.

Ugandan climate activists face charges after a month in maximum security jail

The 11 university students could be imprisoned for a year for protesting against the East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline Eleven Ugandan climate activists who were allegedly beaten and held arbitrarily in a notorious maximum security prison will appear in court on Wednesday charged with a colonial era anti-dissident offense, as reprisals continue against opponents of an internationally bankrolled oil pipeline.

If convicted, the 11 activists, all university students, face up to a year in jail. Four of them – Nicholas Lutabi, Jacob Lubega, Shafik Kalyango and Abdul Aziz Bwete – were allegedly arrested and beaten by police armed with guns, teargas and batons as they marched peacefully towards parliament in the capital city, Kampala, on 15 December.

They were targeted after becoming separated from a larger protest calling on the Uganda government to stop construction of the East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline (Eacop), a $5bn fossil-fuel project backed by the French conglomerate TotalEnergies and a Chinese national oil company, as well as the governments of Uganda and Tanzania.

The climate activists said they were forced into an unmarked building within the parliament entrance, where the police officers repeatedly kicked, punched and beat them with heavy objects. It is the same place and same abusive treatment reported by at least two dozen anti-pipeline activists over the past two years.

(...)

The arrests came just three weeks after seven activists from another anti-pipeline group, Students against Eacop Uganda, were arrested and detained under similar circumstances, by the same judge. They spent almost four weeks in maximum security and will also appear in court on Wednesday charged with common nuisance. If convicted, they face a custodial sentence of 12 months.

“It is not normal to detain suspects for even a day for a common nuisance charge,” said attorney Ronald Samuel Wanda, who is representing 15 pipeline protesters. “These arrests are arbitrary … Arresting those protesting peacefully demonstrates that the government of Uganda does not respect its own constitution.”

UN experts, the EU and international rights groups have documented those speaking out against the oil pipeline. In September 2022, the European parliament adopted a resolution condemning Eacop for the “wrongful imprisonment of human rights defenders, the arbitrary suspension of NGOs, arbitrary prison sentences and the eviction of hundreds of people from their land without fair and adequate compensation”.

Hanna Hindstrom, senior investigator for the international non-profit Global Witness, which has published an investigation into TotalEnergies activities in the region, said the company had a vested interest in the crackdown on defenders in Uganda and Tanzania, with a “chilling effect on communities affected by the pipeline”.

“These young people are speaking up for the survival of the planet, its communities and ecosystems, and should be heeded, not thrown in jail,” Hindstrom said.

Last year TotalEnergies told the Guardian it was unaware of “any allegations by human rights and environmental defenders of threats or retaliation made by its subsidiary, contractors or employees in Uganda or Tanzania”.

France's government was on the defensive on Friday after environmental campaigners and opposition politicians accused it of having scrapped a key green policy to appease protesting farmers.

Agricultural workers started to lift roadblocks after more than a week of demonstrations, following government promises of cash and eased regulation.

Among the concessions announced by Agriculture Minister Marc Fesneau on Thursday was that a 15-year-old government plan to stem dependence on insecticides and weedkillers would be put on hold. (...) But government spokeswoman Prisca Thevenot on Friday morning defended the move, saying measures to reduce pesticide use so far had not worked and needed rethinking.

"We need to be able to help them, which is why we are massively investing in finding alternative solutions," she added, without elaborating on what those might be.

The protestes are not all done yet, some farmers Union are against this government's decision and are still fighting for better revenues among other things.

Excerpts from this interview :

​

The French liberal and conservative Right has increasingly adopted the xenophobic terms of language employed by the far-right, to the point where the once-distinct lines separating the two camps have become blurred, if not dissolved. The latest example is a comment by Emmanuel Macron’s former prime minister Édouard Philippe, a centre-right presidential hopeful, who placed “anti-white racism” on a par with other forms of racism. Mediapart’s  Fabien Escalona turned to political scientist Émilien Houard-Vial, a specialist of the contemporary French Right, for his analysis of why and how what was taboo has become normalized. (...) What does this tell us about the current state of France’s rightwing camp, and when did the linguistic crossover begin? For an insight, Mediapart turned to political scientist Émilien Houard-Vial, a teacher with the Sciences Po Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics, and who is a widely recognised specialist of the contemporary French Right.

Mediapart: Édouard Philippe has adopted the expression “anti-white racism”. How should one interpret this new example of the legitimisation of the phrases of the far-right?

Émilien Houard-Vial: It can be seen as surprising given that Édouard Philippe, during the length of his political career, has rather highlighted liberal themes. A former juppéiste, \[editor’s note, a close supporter of former conservative prime minister Alain Juppé\], he is regarded as a political leader who comes from the moderate fringes of the UMP \[conservative party, now renamed Les Républicains\]. (...) That is why, beginning three or four years ago, we are looking at a qualitative change, which was established with the arrival of Éric Ciotti as the head of LR. A threshold was crossed. It translates by the centrality and radicality of a rhetoric according to which a majority and native population sees itself threatened – at a cultural and symbolic level as well as in its physical integrity – by Islamism and, more generally, by minorities that are both non-assimilable and ‘decivilised’.        

The result is that today, LR officials rise up on social media against a minister who denies the “obvious” link between delinquency and immigration, and this without any form of consequent opposition within the party.

Mediapart: By force of taking up the ethno-centrist and authoritarian vocabulary of the far-right, what in substance still distinguishes the LR from the latter?

E.H-V: On those issues, it’s become increasingly difficult to discern. The differences have become ‘meta-ideological’ in the sense that there is no more fighting over the issues, but rather over the manner of defending the arguments. That’s what Éric Ciotti does when he explains that the LR is the Rassemblement National \[RN\] in a more competent form. The added value of the Right would be that it is better placed to enact its programme. That joins with a political culture that further distinguishes itself from the RN, and in which its cadres have been socialised: a culture of a party of government, of people who know how to ‘behave’ in order to concretely exercise power (...) So, one cannot say that LR and the RN propose exactly the same thing, even if factually the positions are evermore closer. To take another example, some people in LR call for the removal of birthright citizenship, or also a moratorium on immigration – a manner of drawing closer to Marine Le Pen’s “zero” immigration.

Mediapart: There have been numerous studies that show that competing with the far-right on its own territory is a mistaken strategy in the medium- and long-term. In France, is there a probability that the conservative opposition will become aware of this and attempt a different approach?

E.H-V: LR has so much criticised the “limp Right” and the “rightwing of the Left” that it seems to me difficult to implement a reversal. During the \[parliamentary\] debates over the motion rejecting the draft legislation on immigration, its Members of Parliament painted Darmanin as an “immigrationist”. A lot of the moderate electorate have already been dissuaded by the evolution of the language. (...)

Figures like \[LR Member of Parliament and former secretary general of the party\] Aurélien Pradié try to think of a dignified way out of the dilemma between ‘Macronism’ and ‘Lepenism’ – or ‘Zemmourism’. According to that view, LR should champion new issues, in line with the major preoccupations of the population, notably of those living in urban peripheries or rural areas abandoned by the state, which are lacking public services. These issues could be the subject of a line that mobilises the traditional values of the Right, like merit.

That is what senior civil servant Emmanuelle Mignon tried to do under Nicolas Sarkozy, and it should be noted that she has just taken up service again within LR where, with the rank of vice-president, she heads the “ideas” section of the party.

But how can this work be carried out when Éric Ciotti insists that the priority lies in the battle against wokeism and civilisational decline? Or when some are waiting for the collapse of ‘Macronism’, telling themselves that Laurent Wauquiez could appear as if a Gaullist saviour? The party has still not collectively analysed why the Sarkozist strategy worked in certain conditions in 2007, and why it failed on three occasions afterwards.  

Fabien Escalona, 31 December 2023 à 21h43

Excerpts from the article :

A total of 16 women have accused the actor Gérard Depardieu of sexual assault, including rape. While Depardieu has firmly denied the allegations, a French television documentary investigating the claims this month revealed hitherto unseen footage of his lewd behaviour. Amid the outrage sparked by the documentary, 56 showbiz stars this week signed an open letter denouncing the “lynching” of Depardieu. But the most notable of those who have leapt to the actor’s defence is Emmanuel Macron, who slammed what he called a “manhunt” against the actor, even wrongly suggesting the incriminating recording in the documentary had been doctored. In this op-ed article first published in French last week, Lénaïg Bredoux and Marine Turchi analyse the French president’s ill-judged intervention.

Speaking on December 20th on public TV channel France 5, in the round-table discussion programme “C à vous”, French President Emmanuel Macron jumped to the defence of Gérard Depardieu over a string of rape and sexual violence allegations made against the actor, whose lewd behaviour towards women, and obscene comments about a young girl, were exposed in a recent documentary. (...)

Macron’s defence of the actor on C à vous on December 20th came just 24 hours after his government’s highly controversial new hardline legislation on immigration, which enshrines the practice of “national preference” was approved in Parliament, thanks to support from conservative and far-right members of the chamber. The transformation of what had been initially rejected draft legislation into a law that reflected the programme of the far-right split Macron’s ruling Renaissance party and led to the resignation of the health minister.

(...)

Conspiracy theory and attacks upon the media

In a disturbing move, Emmanuel Macron relayed the idea, already put about by Depardieu’s family and the rightwing Bolloré media group (notably CNews, the Journal du dimanche, and the “Touche pas à mon poste” TV chatshow), that the France 2 documentary had doctored the 2018 recording of the actor’s comments made during his visit to North Korea. On four occasions, Macron referred to “controversies” and created doubt as to whether the documentary footage had been manipulated by journalists in order to deliberately deceive viewers. “I am wary about the context, I’ve understood that there have been controversies about reports \[…\], about words that were out of sync with the images,” said Macron, adding that “people will have to debate this”. (...) Meanwhile, France Télévisions announced that it had appointed a huissier de justice (a bailiff with legal power to serve as witness) to watch the rushes in question. In his report, the huissier attests to the fact that the images showing a girl aged about ten riding a pony and the lewd comments made by Depardieu are part of the exact same sequence, thus invalidating both the accusation by Depardieu’s family that it was the result of “fraudulent editing” and the doubts cast over the sequence by the French president.

(...)

It is not the first time that the French president has targeted journalists, and is in fact the latest in a long list of attacks since he first came to office in 2017. But this latest example is situated within the context of a rapprochement between Macron and French media and publishing tycoon Vincent Bolloré. The two men have put aside their previously frosty relationship and in September held a secret meeting at the Elysée Palace, according to French daily Le Monde, which suggested that Bolloré sought Macron’s help over a European Commission probe into one of his recent acquisitions. (...)

Separating ‘transgression’ and sexual assault

By stepping onto the moral ground, Macron – who said the Légion d’honneur “is not a moral order”, and that “there can continue to be transgressive people in it” – contributed to making the behaviour of Depardieu supposedly ordinary. This excuse of “schoolboy humour” and comments like “Oh it’s OK, it’s Gérard”, which Mediapart heard so often during its investigation into the accusations against Depardieu by 13 women who accuse him of sexual violence, is today adopted by the French president. Yet the controversy is not about an issue of “transgression”, but one of allegations of rape, sexual assault and harassment, and therefore about potential crimes.

Depardieu is currently formally placed under investigation in a judicial probe into his suspected “rape” and “sexual assault” of actress Charlotte Arnould, which was opened after she filed a formal complaint against him. Depardieu denies the accusations. A total of 15 other women have recounted in the media how they fell victim to sexual assaults by Depardieu (13 of them detailed their accounts to Mediapart in an investigation published in April, and two others similarly accused the actor on France Inter radio in July).

(...)

“When he says ‘I won’t take part in a manhunt’, he is judging the women who have filed complaints, the women who have given their accounts,” added Mailfert. “He is saying that it is them whose approach is reprehensible.”

How Macron publicly supported ministers accused of rape

It was not the first time that the French president brought up the issue of the presumption of innocence – a fundamental principle under French law of a person’s innocence unless found guilty in a court of law, and which no-one in the debate about Depardieu places in question. In the past and separate cases of three serving ministers facing rape allegations – current interior minister Gérald Darmanin, ecological transition minister from 2017-2018 Nicolas Hulot, and Damien Abad, minister in 2022 for autonomy and the handicapped – Macron chose to keep them in office in the name of the presumption of innocence (the cases against Darmanin and Hulot would finally be dropped).

Avec le changement climatique, un tiers de la population mondiale devrait se retrouver confrontée à la raréfaction de la ressource en eau. Cela ne va pas sans susciter des tensions croissantes, à l’international comme à l’échelle locale, et interroge la façon dont nous gérons et utilisons la ressource en eau.

Début octobre 2023, le président français Emmanuel Macron était en visite d’État de deux jours en Suisse, avec à son agenda une négociation d’un genre particulier : le chef d’État venait demander très officiellement d’augmenter le débit du Rhône, dont le « robinet » se trouve en Suisse et est contrôlé par le barrage du Seujet, en plein cœur de Genève. « Le débit du Rhône est un sujet extrêmement sensible, car une bonne partie de la chaîne hydronucléaire de la France en dépend », explique Stéphane Ghiotti, géographe au laboratoire Acteurs, ressources et territoires dans le développement1 de Montpellier. Outre le transport fluvial, l’irrigation des cultures et l’alimentation en eau potable de grandes villes comme Lyon, la France a en effet besoin de l’eau du Rhône pour refroidir ses quatre centrales nucléaires présentes le long du fleuve et alimenter une vingtaine de centrales hydroélectriques… et ce alors que le niveau du Rhône baisse de manière préoccupante, notamment durant la période estivale.
