Who does the working class vote for?
- "Why have the right and the ultra-right won in France? That's clear, too. The French left, as divided as the European left, has allowed this situation to happen in recent years."
The results of the elections in the French State have a clear reading. With 66% of the votes the right has won, capital and finance. The ultra-right, on the other hand, has reached 34% and is moving forward, winning the votes of workers and citizens of rural areas. The left, it's missing. And the working class and the popular sectors are the most affected. Although the right wing has won in the North Basque Country, it is noteworthy that leftists and patriots are constantly on the rise. The disarmament of ETA and the commitment of the “artisans of peace” who have worked for it will probably have some relevance.
Why did the Right and the Far Right win in France? That's clear, too. The French left, as divided as the European left, has allowed this situation to occur in recent years. Macron’s right wing has obtained votes from the center, the feud of capital, and has also obtained the support of some leftists who fear Le Pen. Le Pen is proud to “represent” the world of workers, even if it defends xenophobic and unsupportive policies to do so.
The French left finds itself mainly in social democracy and has been unable to distinguish itself from the right in the socio-economic sphere. Their “social democratic” policies have only served to make up for the effects of capital: unemployment, precariousness and inequality. In the face of this political orphan, who will the working class and the popular sectors vote for? It is obvious that they have not supported the Social Democrats and that some have sought refuge in the “saving”, xenophobic and anti-European discourse of Le Pen, while many others have abstained. The “social democracy” of Hollande and the others has thrown them into the abyss, thus placing the banker Macron in the Elysée and Le Pen in the opposition.
