2024 Legislative Elections in France - Votul membrilor DiEM25

Emmanuel Macron's abrupt decision to call legislative elections has been met with confusion about his intentions, but could still allow the far right to take power in the country at this crucial time. 

Meanwhile, Macron's policy of maintaining the extreme centre has led to an increasing polarisation of French politics - along with growing discontent over worsening living conditions. 

The New Popular Front has risen to the moment, uniting not only left-wing political parties but also a broad coalition of trade union and civil society groups to halt the march towards fascism in France.

Its electoral programme outlines policies to reverse Macron's attack on the social safety net in the Republic and end privileges for billionaires. It also aims to address climate issues and the democratic deficit in the country. Please note, however, that there are differences between their programme (here in French and in English) and DiEM25's positions, especially on foreign policy. 

Given the urgency of this unique moment, the Coordinating Collective proposes that DiEM25 support the New Popular Front in this endeavour. 

Do you agree with this proposal?
