Political turmoil in France, but left in la la land - A conversation with Comrades Alexis and Sacramento

Season 1 Episode 38

Mansa is joined by Comrades Alexis and Sacramento from Ligue trotskyste de France to discuss the never-ending governmental crisis. Recorded two days before the resignation of PM Lecornu (who lasted less than a month) we discuss why the ground beneath Macron's feet is shrinking, why Le Pen continues to grow, the place of Jean-Luc Melenchon of La France Insoumise in the coming events, and the reasons why the far left is in the seventh heaven calling for general strikes when the working class is, in comrades' words, stuck in Dante's inferno. Tune in to get updated on the situation in France!
