«The results of the French elections »They highlight the extent of the political threat to democracy in Europe posed by the far right," emphasizes the SYRIZA-PS.
In a statement on the French elections, he further notes that «the strong showing of the Left, with its exceptionally high percentage Mélenchon, », at a time when the candidates from the traditional right-wing and social democratic parties have all but disappeared, this is good news.".
He emphasizes, however, that «It's a shame that the fragmentation of the broader Left is preventing it from advancing to the second round, instead of the far-right Le Pen».
SYRIZA emphasizes that «it is necessary to defeat Le Pen at the polls» and «the far right as a whole in Europe.» However, it stresses that «this alone is not enough» and «Neoliberal policies in Europe must also be defeated», since «the dominance of neoliberalism exacerbates inequalities, social exclusion, and insecurity. It fuels the forces of nationalism and the far right.».
SYRIZA-PS notes that «progressive forces must, through cooperation and joint struggles, pave the way for a Europe of justice and solidarity» and concludes: «The EU will either be social and democratic, or it will fall apart.».
