Join – Giovanni De Mauro

An old joke says that when two left-wing militants meet, three parties are founded. For this reason alone, the experiment attempted in France by Jean-Luc Mélenchon should be hailed as a positive novelty: for once we tried to unite rather than divide.

The program of the New Ecological and Social Popular Union (Nupes), as the alliance between the party of Mélenchon (La France insoumise), socialists, communists and greens is called, is not a simple series of slogans shouted by the opposition, but it is the result of a precise elaboration effort, carried out together by the four parties, to define a government project strongly oriented to the left.

Mélenchon and La France insoumise are not exempt from criticism, but on the other hand which party or political leader is? Nupes has been demonized, in France and beyond.

In Italy, several newspapers have defined Mélenchon as nothing less than “a nightmare” and “a threat”. Perhaps because it can actually be successful and thus scares some.

We will see if in the second round, Sunday 19 June, the Nupes will be able to obtain a significant number of seats and if the coalition will hold up over time, being another characteristic of every recent alliance on the left that of quickly disappointing, with blatantly self-defeating decisions, a a large part of the electorate painstakingly conquered.

In France, four left-wing parties have united, without watering down their program which has remained that of a left-wing left, and in the first round of the elections for the renewal of parliament they went well. Proving that there are alternatives when you try to build them.

It would be nice if someone in Italy noticed and took note. ◆
