**A group of Socialist, Green and Communist elected officials are set to meet with political leaders, intellectuals and civil society figures abroad. They aim to forge connections to better resist the far-right Rassemblement National party if it came to power.**
How can the left resist the far right’s rise, symbolized by Donald Trump’s return to power in the United States, Javier Milei’s rise in Argentina, Geert Wilders’ breakthrough victory in the Netherlands and the surge of the [Rassemblement National](https://www.lemonde.fr/en/politics/article/2025/05/03/le-pen-s-tightrope-preparing-voters-for-plan-b-without-admitting-defeat-to-election-ban_6740879_5.html) (RN) in France? To answer this thorny question, the French left aims to rebuild a “progressive, humanist and environmentalist international,” in the spirit of the major left-wing networks of decades past, the last of which was seen in the alter-globalization movement of the 2000s.
Hoping to rekindle that era, a network of French elected officials – MPs, MEPs, mayors and senators – is about to embark on a tour, through an initiative called *La Digue* (“The Dam”), to meet with political leaders, intellectuals and civil society figures. Their aim: to ask them “how they resist” and to build connections, ahead of the possibility of the RN coming to power. “Nothing seems to stop the momentum of identitarian neofascists. The forces opposite us are allied and powerful. They sustain the narratives they instill against critical thinking, science and everything that makes us democrats,” said, on Tuesday, May 20, left-wing independent MP Pouria Amirshahi (formerly a Socialist, who now sits with the Greens in the Assemblée), who spearheaded the initiative and had once taken part in the alter-globalization movement.
“La Digue,” whose position can be summed up with the slogan “Neither Trump nor Putin,” according to left-wing MP Tristan Lahais, aims to oppose the “neofascist international.” “The progressive camp must not be like a rabbit caught in a car’s headlights,” added Socialist MP Fatiha Keloua Hachi.

The righties will lose their mind as soon as the Russian payments clear.
The French left should start to stop trivializing the problem of Islamism.
French left uniting to steal elections…
Nothing new.
The left will do anything but address the immigration issue. The “far right” will not go away if they do nothing about it, and it will only grow. Also how ironic of them to dare talk about critical thinking when their agenda includes anything but critical thinking
The right wing already has this, and that’s one of the reasons that they’ve been so hard to beat!
the EU is already that lol
By virtue signaling and doing nothing else.
‘the rise of far right’ in europe simply boils down to people reacting to the disorder/discomfort of the islamization / ‘balkanization’ of their homelands.. and the left will never ever address that meaningfully so..
Easy: Address the Issues that the Far Right uses as campaign fodder. Those are national issues, not “far right” nor “left”.
Do that, and it will do wonders. Or just keep doing nothing and make the russian bots superfluous in a while.
Replacing far right with far left isn’t a solution. Trust me, we tried it so you don’t have to.
They stand for nothing if they only define themselves as neither Trump nor Putin.
It’s vague. It’s not a real political project that will motivate people to vote for them.
I think that the feeling of “lack of democracy” should be addressed first. Maybe local democracy in particular.
Left does have a more effective solution to migration than the right (by helping poorer countries have a better standard of living, so they don’t feel the need to migrate), but most people complaining about migration will be opposed to that solution cause it’s more about xenophobia and easy scapegoats than solution.
As long as its economic left instead of cultural left that seems good.
This will definitely get the far right more votes.
Funded by shadowy elite money that will make it ridiculously easy for that same right-wing to speculate and speak conspiratorially (because it literally is) about?
What a profoundly stupid idea.
Finally some organized action. Law enforcement must receive a clear course of action against fascist propaganda at all levels.
French left known as LFI is rotten to the core by russian money and influence, so, yeah, good luck with fighting racism with that.
I wish them luck, but i don’t think it’s gonna be easy.
Another French revolution?
Replacing one group of fascist-wannabes with another.
Somebody’s gotta do it. Pourquoi pas les françaises?
No thanks, if communists are involved they can take a hike.
A shit sandwich! 😂
lets see if they have any chance. whats their stance on illegal immigration and actual deportation of people that have deportation orders?
Well they gotta get fuckin’ onto it like it should’ve been ready to go yesterday!
(Or last year if you wanna be more precise)
Denmark proves that it’s unbelievably easy to stop the far right
100 percent end of mass migration
Prioritize your people above foreigners in all situations
The sad reality is that most European politicians would rather have open borders with Afghanistan than protect democracy
Why does the moderate right don’t take take part in it ? Do they think hatred is not that bad compared to democratic socialism ?
