Subject : [socialistdiscussion] FN - Stealing the clothes of the Left

This has been a topic in the discussion in the past.
The French National Front (FN) has been making inroads in what were traditionally Socialist and Communist strongholds in former mining areas in northwestern France. An ex-neofascist organisation which became rightwing populist has now donned some of the clothes of the left. The genuine left should be aware that this variant is possible and potentially extremely dangerous, riding the wave of anti-US globalisation, anti-austerity, anti-immigrant passions.

There will be an election for one of the big regional governments Nord-Pas-de-Calais in early December and the FN could well actually win it. Here is an article which brings together some of the facts and is worth reading.

An extract:
"... As far-right leader Marine Le Pen seeks election in depressed northern France, her message to voters boils down to: Choose me, I’ll restore France’s social protections and save you from American-led globalization.

It’s a new political brew for the National Front that’s helping the party make unprecedented inroads in regional politics, and become an increasingly serious contender at the national level.

Founded by Marine’s father, Jean-Marie Le Pen, the party rose in the late 20th century by peddling anti-immigrant rhetoric along with a dose of Reaganite free market philosophy. But in recent years the Front has moved firmly into terrain once occupied by French communists, the ruling Socialists and other leftists.

It appeals to the working man’s frustrations with economic stagnation, the changing world and the enduring hold on French political life of urban, well-educated and incestuous elites. The Front’s social politics are conservative and its economics are firmly anything but liberal...."

In France’s depressed north, the far right makes inroads with the old Socialist, working-class electorate.
