Episode Synopsis

France is in political turmoil. That's a good thing because it opens possibilities that didn't exist before. The New Popular Front Party (NPF) - a coalition of leftwing parties - is now the largest political force in France. But what does that mean?We have a conversation today with John Mullen, a Marxist and long term resident of France, who is also active in the NPF. He gives us an excellent description of the dynamics of mobilization that came together to not only defeat the neo-fascist party of France but also received more votes than the Center party that now runs the country. This is s story that needs to be followed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
