Sobre los resultados electorales en Francia y Gran Breta\u00f1a<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Coordinaci\u00f3n de N\u00facleos Comunistas<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las victorias respectivas del Partido Laborista en Gran Breta\u00f1a y del Nuevo Frente Popular en Francia deben entenderse m\u00e1s como un inmenso voto de rechazo popular a gobiernos que, en medio de una gigantesca crisis, han llevado a cabo las pol\u00edticas m\u00e1s duras sobre la clase trabajadora como representantes directos de la gran burgues\u00eda imperialista. En este sentido, los resultados electorales son la continuaci\u00f3n en clave nacional de lo ocurrido en las recientes elecciones europeas en las que la elevada abstenci\u00f3n ha reflejado un alto grado de malestar social1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En los dos pa\u00edses, como en el resto de la UE y desde luego en el Estado espa\u00f1ol, la degradaci\u00f3n de las condiciones de vida de la clase trabajadora es enorme y sin perspectiva alguna de mejora. En el marco de la crisis general del capitalismo que se intensifica progresivamente, el confinamiento y el cierre de la econom\u00eda impuestos f\u00e9rreamente durante la pandemia aceleraron el hundimiento de unas econom\u00edas que apenas se hab\u00edan recuperado de la crisis de 2008\/2009. A ello hay que a\u00f1adir las decisiones estrictamente pol\u00edticas, la cancelaci\u00f3n del comercio con Rusia y la elevaci\u00f3n de los tipos de inter\u00e9s, que han disparado los precios y han acabado de hundir a miles de empresas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los resultados son devastadores<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

En Gran Breta\u00f1a, millones de trabajadores que han perdido su empleo o que cobran salarios m\u00edseros recurren a los bancos de alimentos y no pueden calentar sus hogares en invierno. El deterioro de los servicios p\u00fablicos es inmenso como resultado de recortes y privatizaciones, especialmente grave en el NHS (Sistema Nacional de Salud) que hasta los a\u00f1os 80 era el ejemplo de servicios sanitarios en Europa occidental. Las importantes huelgas que han sacudido el pa\u00eds no han servido para revertir la situaci\u00f3n aunque s\u00ed han evidenciado el alto grado de indignaci\u00f3n social. El voto mayoritario al Partido Laborista, que ha sido apoyado por importantes sectores empresariales y por grandes medios de comunicaci\u00f3n conservadores, como el tabloide Sun propiedad de Robert Murdoch, y que solo tiene en su programa difusas promesas de \u201ccambio\u201d, ha servido para canalizar electoralmente un polvor\u00edn de exasperaci\u00f3n social que no tiene posibilidades de resolver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En Francia la situaci\u00f3n social es, si cabe, m\u00e1s grave. Los datos son abrumadores: m\u00e1s de la mitad de los franceses no puede pagar los gastos m\u00e9dicos, de energ\u00eda o comprar frutas y verduras; un tercio se ve obligado a saltarse una y hasta dos comidas diarias2<\/a><\/sup>; casi la cuarta parte de los ni\u00f1os est\u00e1n en situaci\u00f3n pobreza y exclusi\u00f3n social. Las masivas movilizaciones populares y huelgas obreras \u2013 contra la subida de combustibles en 2022, contra la reforma de las pensiones, por el asesinato de un adolescente por la polic\u00eda o las recientes protestas de los agricultores, entre otras – han sacudido el pa\u00eds llegando a amenazar con el derrocamiento del gobierno, utilizando potentes m\u00e9todos de lucha que no se ve\u00edan desde hac\u00eda d\u00e9cadas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El programa del Nuevo Frente Popular, constituido por un variopinto conjunto de organizaciones que incluyen al Partido Socialista, penetrado hasta la m\u00e9dula por el sionismo y responsable directo del ascenso de Le Pen3<\/a><\/sup>. Su programa4<\/a><\/sup>, en el caso de que consiga gobernar, contiene un conjunto de medidas sociales y de mejoras en los servicios p\u00fablicos que, sin planteamiento alguno de revertir privatizaciones, ni de confrontar con el plan de austeridad que pretenden imponer el BCE y el FMI, m\u00e1s parecen una incoherente colecci\u00f3n de buenos deseos. Adem\u00e1s, ante una UE que se propone a vaciar de competencias a los Estados y que tiene una configuraci\u00f3n radicalmente antidemocr\u00e1tica, que el pueblo franc\u00e9s rechaz\u00f3 mayoritariamente en el Refer\u00e9ndum de la Constituci\u00f3n Europea, el Nuevo Frente Popular ni siquiera cuestiona su estructura de poder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tampoco hay ni una sola menci\u00f3n a la escalada belicista de la UE, ni al sometimiento a EE.UU a trav\u00e9s de la OTAN o al desmesurado aumento de los gastos militares, hechos especialmente significativos en un pa\u00eds tradicionalmente celoso de sus soberan\u00eda y en una fuerza pol\u00edtica que pretend\u00eda oponerse a un Macron decidido a llevar a Francia a la guerra con Rusia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sin duda su propuesta concreta de derogaci\u00f3n de la criminal Ley de Emigraci\u00f3n aprobada en enero de este a\u00f1o y el apoyo a la lucha del pueblo palestino expresada con claridad por Melanch\u00f3n, junto al \u201cNo Pasar\u00e1n\u201d que ha avivado el sentimiento antifascista del pueblo franc\u00e9s, han sido determinantes para una movilizaci\u00f3n del voto que, ni en las elecciones europeas, ni en la primera vuelta, se hab\u00eda producido.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En definitiva, en ambos casos, el voto ha sido un instrumento para echar a los gobiernos anteriores y, en el caso franc\u00e9s, expresi\u00f3n de un profundo sentimiento popular antifascista, una especie de freno de emergencia ante la amenaza de la derecha m\u00e1s recalcitrante, pero poco m\u00e1s. El Nuevo Frente Popular se parece mucho a la ensalada de colorines que caracteriza a la vieja\/nueva socialdemocracia posmoderna y, como ella – como hizo Syriza en Grecia – no s\u00f3lo no tiene ni voluntad, ni capacidad para resolver los problemas, sino que puede debilitar a\u00fan m\u00e1s a la clase trabajadora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los grandes problemas seguir\u00e1n agrav\u00e1ndose en medio de una gran inestabilidad pol\u00edtica, tanto con la previsible alianza entre el macronismo y Le Pen o con un gobierno del Nuevo Frente Popular sin mayor\u00eda parlamentaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De momento, se ha ganado tiempo ante el pu\u00f1o de hierro, bien a trav\u00e9s de una nueva \u201cpandemia\u201d, \u201ccrisis clim\u00e1tica\u201d o directamente la guerra, con el que la burgues\u00eda se prepara para confrontar sus propias contradicciones y el ascenso de la movilizaci\u00f3n popular propiciado por la crisis. Y ese tiempo, esa especie de pr\u00f3rroga debe ser aprovechada por la clase obrera, en Francia, en Gran Breta\u00f1a y en todos los pa\u00edses para avanzar en la construcci\u00f3n de una poderosa organizaci\u00f3n de clase, comunista, capaz de organizar la fuerza necesaria para derrotar los planes criminales de la oligarqu\u00eda imperialista.<\/p>\n\n\n

    [Ingl\u00e9s<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A look behind British and French election turmoil<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"\/
    June 15 protest in Paris illustrates the deep anti-fascist popular sentiment sparked into action by the threat of a National Rally (formerly National Front) government.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The following is a report issued on July 11 by the Coordination of Communist Nuclei in the Spanish State* giving its analysis of the legislative elections in Britain and France that concluded in early July. Translation: John Catalinotto.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The respective victories of the Labor Party in Britain and of the New Popular Front in France must be understood as an immense vote of popular rejection of governments which, in the midst of a gigantic crisis and as direct representatives of the imperialist big bourgeoisie, have carried out the harshest policies against the working class. In this sense, the electoral results are the continuation on a national level of what happened in the recent European elections in which the low rate of participation in voting has reflected a high degree of social unrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In both Britain and France, as in the rest of the European Union and certainly in the Spanish State, the degradation of the living conditions of the working class is enormous and has no prospect of improving. Within the framework of the general crisis of capitalism that is progressively intensifying, the restriction and closure of the economy imposed tightly during the pandemic accelerated the collapse of economies that had barely recovered from the crisis of 2008-2009. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To this must be added strictly political decisions, such as the cancellation of trade with Russia and the raising of interest rates, which have sent prices skyrocketing and have finally ruined thousands of companies. The results [for the working class] have been devastating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In Britain, millions of workers who have lost their jobs or who earn paltry wages are resorting to food banks and cannot heat their homes in winter. As a result of cutbacks and privatization, the deterioration of public services is immense and especially severe in the National Health System, which until the 1980s was the ideal example of health services in Western Europe. The major strikes that have shaken the country have failed to reverse the situation, although they have demonstrated a high degree of social indignation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Labor Party has in its program only vague promises of \u201cchange.\u201d Labor has been supported by important business sectors and by large [usually] conservative media, such as The Sun tabloid, owned by Robert Murdoch. The majority vote that Labor won has served to channel into the electoral arena a powder keg of social exasperation that has no possibility of being resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Social situation dire in France<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In France, the social situation is, if possible, even more serious. The data are overwhelming: More than half of France\u2019s population cannot afford to pay for medical and energy expenses or to buy fruit and vegetables; a third are forced to skip one or even two meals a day; almost a quarter of children are living in poverty and social exclusion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Massive popular mobilizations and workers\u2019 strikes \u2014 against the 2022 fuel hike, against the pension reform, over the murder of a teenager by the police or the recent farmers\u2019 protests, among others \u2014 have shaken the country to the point of threatening to overturn the government, using powerful methods of struggle not seen for decades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The New Popular Front, which finished in first place, is made up of a patchwork of organizations. It includes the Socialist Party, which is penetrated to the core by Zionism and is directly responsible for Le Pen\u2019s rise [Marine Le Pen is leader of the National Rally (NR), formerly National Front]. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The NPF program, should it succeed in governing, does contain a set of social measures and improvements in public services. However, with no proposal to reverse privatizations, nor to confront the austerity plan that the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund intend to impose, these measures seem more like an incoherent collection of wishful thinking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Moreover, an NPF government would be faced with an EU that plans to strip the individual countries of their authority and that has a radically anti-democratic structure. Voters in France rejected this EU by a majority [55%] in the Referendum on the European Constitution [in 2005]. Nevertheless, the NPF does not even question the EU\u2019s power structure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    EU, NATO warmongering<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Nor is there a single mention of the EU\u2019s escalating warmongering, nor of the subjugation to the U.S. through NATO, nor the disproportionate increase in military spending. These are particularly significant facts in France, a country whose population is traditionally protective of its sovereignty and in a political force [the NPF] that claimed to oppose President Emmanuel Macron, who is determined to take France to war with Russia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Undoubtedly, Jean-Luc M\u00e9lenchon\u2019s concrete proposal to repeal the criminal Emigration Law passed in January of this year and his support for the struggle of the Palestinian people, clearly expressed, together with the theme of \u201cNo Pasar\u00e1n\u201d [blocking fascists, meaning blocking Le Pen\u2019s NR] have revived the anti-fascist sentiment of the French people. All this has been decisive for mobilizing a vote that, neither in the European elections nor in the first round [of the French legislative votes], had taken place before. [M\u00e9lenchon is the leader of France Insoumise and a main spokesperson for the NPF.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In short, in both Britain and France, the vote was an instrument to oust the previous governments. In the French case, it was also an expression of a deep anti-fascist popular sentiment, a sort of emergency brake against the threat from the most extreme right wing, but little more. The New Popular Front looks very much like the colorful salad that characterizes the old\/new postmodern social democracy and, like it \u2014 as Syriza showed in Greece [starting in 2015] \u2014 possesses neither the will nor the capacity to solve the problems and may even further weaken the working class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The big problems will continue to worsen in the midst of great political instability, either with the foreseeable alliance between Macronism and Le Pen or with a government of the New Popular Front without a parliamentary majority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For the moment, time has been gained in the face of the iron fist with which, either through a new threatened pandemic, climate crisis or more directly by war, the bourgeoisie is preparing to confront its own contradictions and the rise of popular mobilization provoked by the crisis. And the working class, in France, in Britain and in every country, must take advantage of this time, this kind of reprieve, to progress in the construction of a powerful communist class organization, capable of organizing the necessary force to defeat the criminal plans of the imperialist oligarchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    *Note: Some communist and anti-imperialist organizations in the territory ruled from Madrid use the term \u201cSpanish State\u201d instead of \u201cSpain\u201d as a sign of respect for the right to self-determination of the various peoples living in the different regions.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
