"À quelques mois d'une échéance démocratique majeure pour Marseille et les Bouches-du-Rhône, ce qui serait négatif, c'est qu'une troisième année déficitaire nous empêche de remplir notre mission d'informer."

The RN increasingly attracts voters from across the socioeconomic spectrum, including white-collar voters. But they're especially strong among working-class voters — and unfortunately, some on the French Left continue to live in a state of denial about this. www.ipsos.com/fr-fr/fractu... (p. 122)
Devastating poll that should serve as a wake-up call for the parties of the French left as they continue to argue amongst themselves. 22 % of respondents say they sympathize with the RN, compared to 8% for Socialists, 8% for La France Insoumise, 5% for Greens. www.lemonde.fr/politique/ar...

I don't know who the audience for this post is, but sometimes ya gotta get things off your chest.
Frustrated that a single mention of Martine Vassal in an English-language article requires so much explanation. Yes, she's the head of the département (what is that?). Yes, she's also the head of the metropolitan government (what is that?). Yes, she's also running for mayor of Marseille.

Jonathan Choe to Trump: "Another group right now that is behind antifa and working with antifa very closely based on the research that we have right now that we're gonna give to you and your team are the Democratic Socialists of America."
The rapidly-evolving 🇫🇷 situation: Left parties (minus LFI) say they want to govern and call on Macron to name a left PM. Macron's own coalition is now rudderless. RN only calling for snap elections. If you landed here from another planet, you might say the president could just name a left-wing PM? 🤷
Macron's old inner circle now publicly turning against him. Former PM Gabriel Attal says he "no longer understands" Macron's decisions. Another former PM Edouard Philippe just called for early presidential elections. RIP Macronism, save yourself if you can!
Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but I don't really see how there's any way forward other than snap elections? Macron has made it repeatedly clear that he does not want to name a left-of-center PM and the idea of Macronists and left-wing parties governing together seems far-fetched at this point.
I am begging you to stop writing “Marseilles” in English. There is no S at the end. It is ugly and wrong.

An outstanding interview. Patrick Iber of Dissent Magazine has interviewed the legendary Polish political scientist Adam Przeworski about de-democratisation in the USA, and what lessons he’s gleaned from Chile, Peru & beyond.

Iber’s questions are stellar. Przeworski’s answers, chillingly candid.
