(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL #238 - Read Sab?ran Hayd?e, "Welcome to Henin-Beaumont? (fr, pt)

Even before the second round of municipal elections, Henin-Beaumont in the Pas-de-Calais, 
27 000, fell to the FN. What is certain is that the "soft" "new FN" marinized fascism 
irrigated already the city of Henin-Beaumont. You must read the book Hayd?e Sab?ran, 
correspondent for the daily Liberation in Lille, which is immersed in the lives of 
h?ninois es. Welcome to Henin-Beaumont, a laboratory report on the National Front, said in 
a little over two hundred pages what has been left out of the tv media, obsessed by law 
"shock" of 2012 and the duel Le Pen / M?lenchon. Behind the scenes, this is the 
dislocation of markers h?ninoise a working class that has long lived mine and steel and 
suffers the brunt of savage industrialization. ---- Behind the scenes, it is also a FN 
patiently weaving its web, the center of which the former is m?gr?tiste Steeve Briois master.

Since its first municipal election campaign in 1995, he plows the field: grid 
neighborhoods with empty granaries through balls "old", the FN is now everywhere with him. 
Turpitude local caciques socialist is another ground on which the successful fascist 
party. The former mayor, G?rard Dalongeville jailed nine months (and a candidate in 
municipal!) Squandered the money of the common sitting for his nepotism. 23% of 
beneficiary households RSA and an unemployment rate of nearly 18%, population, drained and 
Schools? Urea is only more susceptible to the lure of "all rotten." Finally, racism has 
gradually distilled his poison. The Roma, particularly victims. Hayd?e Sab?ran recalls the 
time when he had not taken because at Samsonite, Metaleurop, there was class solidarity 
against the boss. Except that there is neither more nor Samsonite Metaleurop to 
Henin-Beaumont. There is this "other Henin-Beaumont" that encourages us to see the author 
well: that which is found in the bar Kebab Shannon for a drink away from the fascists. But 
it's hard to forget the former CGT who admits to having voted in the first round M?lenchon 
and Le Pen in the second. As it's hard to forget that in 2003 is still Briois was fired 
plants by trade unionists, while today there tows at the entrance and we smiled. It 
remains to take the full measure of the lesson Henin-Beaumont: this is a book that can 
help us.
