Municipalities Frontists: One year of woe Facholand (fr, it, pt)
[machine translation]
Life in the towns held by the FN is hard, between assos subsidies cuts that refuse to
kowtow, increased repression against young people and poor and widespread patronage. But
unions and associations organize the response. ---- City management by the FN is clearly
intended to pass antiprogressistes ideas and people up against each other by putting
forward the concept of merit and vis-à-vis the neutrality policy in general. The policy is
more diffuse acts to take into account the former municipal managements by the FN and
their consequences on their non-reelection. ---- FN management has a direct consequence
for youth and children. But is not unique to Front. Indeed the PS as the right is close
associations social ties, solidarity, integration, houses teenagers. In municipal
managements of the FN, are the cuts in aid to schools, restoration with rate increases,
bans children from unemployed to eat in the canteen. In neighborhoods of the city, any
decline in the municipality results in declines in other communities and the state.
Removing newspaper subscriptions and book purchases complement this rereading of education
and history. The refusal to organize the ceremonies of 19 March 1962 or the abolition of
slavery, débaptisasions streets in favor of names linked to the OAS are part of their
ideology.
Hunting for solidarity
Total dependence in the service of the municipality is required associations. Otherwise,
subsidies closure, withdrawal of premises especially if one is cataloged left. Thus LDH,
the League of Education may have lost all of their aid. Living together is not in the
agenda, no official priority to European citizens "non-Roma" and football clubs, literacy
workshops, theater put the key under the doormat or greatly reduce their ability.
Economic practices are also widely oriented. So as principals, mayors seek many companies
related to members of the FN and identity. The concept of merit is widely used, implying
submission to elected officials. The notion of fear is widely emphasized, beware heads who
reflect. Staff recruitment is strongly familial or networked. Showing the true face of his
political clean hands and honesty. In the hunt for solidarity, collective ties sees
attempts to suppress local social welfare centers (CCAS) in their city. But sovereign
functions require them to maintain a minimum of operation.
The security field is the one that allowed them to be elected. Hunting youth, homeless,
Roma by a policy of armed police number reinforced upper class services. Wanting to give
pledges to the electorate, none of these measures do not solve the social problems of
residents and inhabitants. Faced with FN councils, union attempt to organize and analyze.
There rallies to which G groups participated. There demos to keep the commemorations that
refuses the FN as Villers-Cotterets for the abolition of slavery.
But none of the answers takes into account social deprivation nor meets the basic needs of
every individual (eating, sleeping). The FN enhances the difficulties for the poor by
saying that it is the fault of others. So organize a market presence, make permanence of
inter-union rights, organizing popular interassociatives talks. Build differently and not
just organize for elections that do not concern the poor, the excluded, is required.
