#LePen & #Bardella sont pas plus "mesurés" que #Trump. #Macron est pas plus "mesuré" que LePen. On est pas + ou - facho, on l'est, c'est tout. C'est comme vouloir appliquer la relativité au monde quantique. Faut plus chercher du côté de l'intrication. Trump est au modèle capitaliste américain (que Macron importe & impose ici, en bon facho) ce que Le Pen est au modèle social français (que Macron détruit, en bon facho). Tous ces gus sont liés & appartiennent au même sac de merde.

"To conclude, political rights should never be left to judges. Anywhere. Ever. The moment you let the judiciary decide who can seek our votes, our oligarchies are bound to distort what little prospects of a democracy we have. No sensible progressive can “trust the courts” in an exploitative system for which the so-called separation of powers is at best a heroic assumption and at worst a ruse. It is as naïve as it is to believe in an independent central bank!

Anyone who cares about the democratic idea should be deeply worried with the ease with which the panicking Radical Centre bans an ultra-right opponent they think may beat them at the polls. Progressives, understandably, fear that the same courts and the same means will be used tomorrow to ban us. I agree. They will! In 2015 they shut down our banks to overthrow people like me, here in Greece. If that hadn’t worked, they would have tried to ban us from running for office – indeed, rightist lawyers tabled charges against me at Greece’s Parliament, just when I resigned the finance ministry. The charges? High Treason – the allegation being that I “undermined the national currency” which, comically, they identified as the… euro.

So, yes, we, the Left, have every reason to fear that what they are doing to Le Pen today they will most definitely do to us if we rise sufficiently in the polls. However, that should NOT be the principal reason why we oppose Le Pen’s ban, or of that clownish Georgescu’s ban in Romania. We should oppose these bans for deeper reasons: Because no one’s political rights should be rescindable. For any reason. Anywhere. Ever!

Having the guts to say that, especially in defence of the political rights of an abominable politician we should want to crush at the polls, is the litmus test for a radical democrat, for a Left worth its salt."

Yanis Varoufakis · Should Le Pen be barred? What is the Left's right answer on this conundrum? - Yanis VaroufakisThis is a crucial conversation to have in general, not particularly about Marine Le Pen. It is about the principled position that the democratic Left must take on the question of who has the right to remove the political rights (the right to vote and to seek votes) of whom. We know what can happen […]

Join us: Yanis Varoufakis, Glenn Greenwald and David Broder to discuss Le Pen ban

On Tuesday, April 8, 2025, at 18:00 CET, join us for an engaging livestream discussion titled ‘Le Pen Ban: Stopping the Far Right – or Fueling It?’ on our YouTube channel. This timely event will feature prominent voices including DiEM25 co-founder Yanis Varoufakis, journalist Glenn Greenwald, and historian David Broder.​

The conversation will delve into the recent ban on far-right political figure Marine Le Pen and its implications for democracy and freedom of speech in Europe. The panellists will explore critical questions:

  • Does banning far-right leaders curb the spread of their ideologies, or does it inadvertently amplify their message by portraying them as martyrs?
  • How can democratic societies effectively combat the rise of extremist movements without compromising their foundational principles?​

Angesichts der Situation mit #Trump in den #USA, der Veruntreuung von öffentlichen Geldern durch #LePen in Frankreich und dem #russischen Angriffskrieg, kann ich nicht verstehen wie 25% der Deutschen denken, dass eine #AfD, die die gleiche Ideologie verfolgt, von Russland gefördert wird, offen lügt und selbst immer wieder Finanzierungsskandale hat, eine kompetente Partei sei, die man wählen könnte.
Da läuft etwas ganz schön schief in Deutschland.

D'après l'avocat du #Parlement #Européen, des preuves écrites existent, et ont été montrées au procès, que #Marine #Lepen était bien au courant du système mafieux qu'elle créait, consistant à créer des #emplois #fictifs pour €4 millions

Elle mérite donc sa peine.
