Nathalie Arthaud wants to put an end to the hints of racism in the presidential campaign.

The candidate of Lutte Ouvrière denounced Thursday March 31 the “poison of uninhibited racism” and particularly attacked Marine Le Pen.

The revolutionary indeed believes that the workers who vote for the candidate of the Rassemblent national "are wrong" because she is "anti-workers". 

"What worries me is the push for far-right ideas, this nationalism, this almost uninhibited racism that has been expressed in this campaign because it is poison for the world of work", replied on France 2 the candidate, questioned on the rise of Marine Le Pen in the polls.  

"Marine Le Pen is not on the side of the working classes"

"Most of the working world has been abstaining for a long time, he realized that all the Presidents of the Republic did not care at all about (his) galley and that he had to manage alone," she said. 

"But those who vote for Marine Le Pen are mistaken because Marine Le Pen is not on the side of the popular classes and the world of work," she warned. 

“When we are anti-immigrants, we are anti-workers because the world of work is made up of a lot of immigrant workers, and fortunately they are there to run hospitals, construction sites …”, insisted the candidate.
