BPL's position on the snap parliamentary elections in France There will be snap elections in France in June-July, in which essentially the entire choice is centred around left, right and centrist. We believe that it is our duty today to critically support our comrades in the New Popular Front, who today oppose both the right-wing revanche and the ruling coalition. A special place here is to criticize the policies of Western governments, which are also responsible for the bloodshed in Ukraine. Although the main responsibility lies with the Eastern European oligarchy led by Putin, Poroshenko and Zelensky and the far-right groups fuelled by them, which have been terrorizing large numbers of people on both sides since 2014, we consider it important to confront Western imperialist groups as well. We are convinced that a real peace, not a compromise for a couple of years, not the protection of the property of oligarchs of any of the countries in the form of territories, but a peace that is truly an expression of the interests of Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians, can only be achieved by destroying the status quo on the left side. We believe that only a victory of united left forces in France can provide a force in the near future that can support the democratic peace initiative and lobby for it in the international arena. While we disagree with the moderate position of the Socialist Party, which effectively duplicates the liberal narrative, we call for support for the New Popular Front in France. Only a left-wing response can put an end to the enmity of nations against the interests of the Russian, Ukrainian and EU oligarchy, and their chain dogs in the form of the far-right of all stripes: from the back alleys to the authorities.
