INTERVIEW
The political, union and associative lefts marched on Saturday in many cities to denounce "attacks on freedoms" which are increasing according to them thanks to the rise of the far right and "liberticidal" laws. Guest of Europe 1 on Saturday, the former Prime Minister Manuel Valls pointed out an "ambiguous" demonstration conveying "confusion". "We associate with far-right ideas laws passed in Parliament to fight against violence against the police, against terrorism, to defend our freedoms," he said, adding: "A part of the left is lost in its language. "
The left-wing parties, if they all participated, marched in dispersed order.
The rebellious Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Benoît Hamon (Generations) and the ecologist Julien Bayou paraded in Paris.
The leader of the Communists Fabien Roussel was in Lille and the socialist Olivier Faure in PACA.
"Those who demonstrate are also at odds with each other. This is a front union."
