During pre-election debate You couldn't ask for more contrast. erstwhile a typical of the fresh People's Front (NFL) Manuel Bompard of the Infinitive France (LFI) spoke of the request to taxation the richest, Jordan Bardella of the National Unity promised to reduce taxes by depriving the migrant population of social support, or frequently the poorest.
The NFL typical adopted a strategy that was already observed in 2022 in the Jean-Luc Mélenchon debate with Érick Zemmour before the presidential election: he presented migrants as co-creators of the country's culture and economy and thus challenged the position of cultural French as "gentlemen on his own" who welcomed graciously abroad visitors. Addressing the leader of the far right, Bompard argued that "currently all tenth individual in this country is an immigrant and frequently does the work crucial to the life of the nation", so "instead of regularly insulting them, you should be grateful to them."
The position of Bompard and his coalitions may be a model for us in Poland, erstwhile Face the Wave of Racism.
Even if any are resisting national-patriotist blackmails and inactive stand up for the rights of migrants on the border with Belarus, there is simply a general feeling that they should not be here. I am sorry to see the motives from the chauvinist mainstream communicative appear even in the statements of the most left-wing Members. For example, late in RMF FM Maciej essential maintainedthat Poland is undoubtedly the victim of “hybrid” attacks, whose tool is “aggressive groups of men” at the border. small changes the words of the Necessary, that they are besides there “women and children” needing help. The message is clear: we don't request men here.
France in the face of racism
The vast France is undoubtedly a controversial group, and its problems with interior democracy and ambivalent attitude towards Ukraine deserve harsh criticism. However, on migration, the organization now retains a model position. Given the fact that population influx is 1 of the most controversial issues across Europe, and the reluctance to cultural minorities is the main reason for supporting the far right, the consistent defence of multiculturalism by the "unrepentant" deserves praise.
Their pro-immigrant communicative is not based on the thought of human rights, but on the concept of the common good. In publication France benefits from migration by 2 parliamentarians of this group, Aurélie Trouvé and Hadrien Clouet, we read that the lie of the right hand, reproduced from Chiraca rod Le Pen, by presenting migrants as a burden to the country. In order to combat right-wing propaganda, we should not, therefore, trust primarily on charity and humanitarianism, as if helping immigrants were a grace on our part.
The arrival of the population in the country, according to the authors, is primarily a cultural and economical value. It's cultural, due to the fact that diversity makes creativity and art grow. Economically, for example, due to the fact that there are more people of working age among the inflow population who supply the pension strategy than among the indigenous population. In addition, immigrants execute key social jobs, although their upbringing and education did not cost the country where they reside, nor a cent. Finally, as Bompard besides pointed out in the debate, they feed the country's economy with their consumption.
The biggest threat to left-wing environments is to abandon its universalistic ideals under the influence of right-wing and social environments, specified as Bündnis Sara Wagenknecht or Poland “New citizenIt’s okay. ” The arguments of these parties appear to be common sense: the increasing reluctance to migration is claimed to be of economical interest to the folk classes, which compete for jobs with the "dang labour". Contrary to this argument, Trouvé and Clouet refer, among another things, to the economist's investigation and Nobel Prize winner David Card. This researcher, comparing the labour marketplace in Miami during the migration wave with another U.S. regions, showed that population influx not only did not worsen wage conditions but could even improve them.
Social right-wing communities are known to be 1 of the symptoms of separating "cosmopolitical" intellectuals from folk masses. However, if we look at the social base of the French Left, we see that this communicative does not agree. Data that said Thomas Piketty After the EP elections, they make it clear – the pro-immigrant left has won with the right among the worst-placed French (earned below 1250 euros) who, according to the social right, should be most exposed to competition with the "cheap labour".
We now have a choice whether to follow the lead of the Danish Social Democrats and Sara Wagenknecht, capitulating ideologically against the rising wave of chauvinism in Europe, or, like the socialists in France, defending the imagination of a "participative community" to which it belongs through its economical and cultural contribution. Within it, Poles can be both Mazowszan, Afghan and Ukrainian.
