A Historic alliance between Trotskyists and Communists over the corpse of Communism is how a spokesperson for the far-right Front National described the Front de gauche.
Commenting on March 18th 100,000 strong rally at the Bastille, Jean-Luc Mélenchon said: “Génie de la Bastille qui culmine sur cette place, nous voici de retour, le peuple des révolutions et des rébellions en France. Nous sommes le drapeau rouge!” (From here)
“The Genie of the Bastille remains in this square. We are back: the people of Revolutions and Rebellions in France. We are the Red Flag”.
