This is now obvious, the war in Ukraine has left a new opportunity to mark its differences on the left. Jean-Luc Mélenchon on one side, Yannick Jadot and Anne Hidalgo on the other. In the manifestations of support for the Ukrainian people, each scrolls on his side. If Olivier Faure, Raphael Glucksmann, Yannick Jadot and Christiane Taubira have been immortalized side by side, the deputies of France unsuitable avoid lending to family photos. “What bullshit the war!”: For his great Parisian meeting, Thursday, March 10, Fabien Roussel chose the words of Prévert to hamme himself messages of peace, calling to “put aside the quarrels” to demand the cease-it -Feu in Ukraine. But the left is far from agreeing on the means to make peace, it is arguing even the pacifist inheritance.
The European deputy Raphaël GLUCKSMANN wondered on March 6, on France 5: “We can all be for peace, but how do we arrive at peace, and what is peace? Refuse to give the Ukrainian resistance the means to defend oneself, it is not being pacifist, it is to let those who make the war win. “” Munichois “- with reference to the Munich agreements of 1938, signed by the France and the United Kingdom with Nazi Germany and Mussoline Italy to avoid war but who have resulted in the annexation of the Sudetes by Hitler and the dismantling of Czecholovakia – the adjective was quickly released in the camp of Yannick Jadot to qualify the positioning of Jean-Luc Mélenchon. “Va-t-in-war”, replied the latter, to deliver weapons to Ukraine, it’s risking the warrior gear.
Everyone also comes on the legacy of Jean Jaurès, pacifist murdered on the eve of the First World War. In invectives that culminated this week, the next day of the meeting “for the peace” of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Sunday, where he reiterated his will to leave NATO and his preference for national sovereignty at the idea a European defense. “All his great speeches mask his complacence and capitulations against Putin, reacted Yannick Jadot, on South Radio. You imagine Jean Jaurès defending the bombings of civilian populations in Syria?” A reference to the phrase of Jean-Luc Mélenchon who recently estimated that Vladimir Putin had “settled the problem in Syria”.
Everyone his jaures
“The reference to Jaurès is almost a chestnut, is the historian Roger Martelli. She has always been ambiguous, Jaurès is the one, in communist reading, who died because he was pacifist and would never have accepted May the left damaged in the sacred union when the First World War trigger. Socialist side, it is Jaurès man of peace but also from the new army, who would have accepted participation in the sacred union. “
