And according to them, we must mobilize today.
A thousand political leaders and activists, intellectuals and trade unionists are calling for "a common candidacy" on the left for an "ecological, social and democratic alternative" in view of the next presidential election.
This "Appeal of 1,000", launched this Saturday, takes the form of an online petition.
Among the signatories, we find LFI MP Clémentine Autain, EELV MEP Damien Carême, one of the spokespersons of the same party Alain Coulombel, environmental journalist Cyril Dion, or economist Thomas Piketty.
But also activists and members of Europe Ecology - The Greens, of the Socialist Party, of Generations or of the PCF, who do not however represent, by their position or their number, the majority of their respective apparatuses.
All regret “a lack of common work” in the different structures, even if they observe “signs of openness”.
