French political parties are trying to take anti-austerity Syriza train – The Obs

French political parties are trying to take anti-austerity Syriza train – The Obs

Paris (AFP) – The FN welcomes, Mélenchon triumph Hollande in Paris invites Tsipras … Why some politicians she tries to cling to the locomotive Syriza in Greece at the risk of blurring the traditional political spectrum?

Since the victory of Alexis Tsipras who became prime minister Monday in Greece, many French politicians, beyond the radical left, salute the accession to power of a political party that rejects austerity policies imposed since 2010 by the EU, the ECB and the IMF in exchange for their financial support to indebted countries.

He who triumphs, is Jean-Luc Mélenchon and behind him all the Left Front, who called Sunday a “historic moment” for Europe’s victory Syriza.

Ultimately, he bets in France on a collapse of the PS – accused of supporting austerity – the same intensity as the disavowal suffered by PASOK, the Greek brother, fell to less than 5% of the vote Sunday after being the pillar of national politics, bringing together over 40% of voters.

“The PS, its fate is settled, it’s a matter of time” because its “software is totally out of date,” Mr Mélenchon estimated. Syriza returned the favor by publicly supporting the candidate of the Left Front for the by-election Doubs Sunday, where the PS to lose – a symbol. – The former headquarters of Pierre Moscovici, became Commissioner

This has not prevented the PS also greet the victory of SYRIZA and place themselves in the “fulcrum” Alexis Tsipras in difficult discussions debt renegotiation with the rest of Europe that will soon begin.

The Greek case should also be on the menu informal dinner with Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday night and the president Francois Hollande, who is counting on the emergence of SYRIZA in Greece to advance the Franco-Italian axis for European recovery, facing the German firm.

“Jean-Luc Mélenchon is as the legitimate interlocutor of Alexis Tsipras, but it does is only Syriza leader, European ally of the Left Front, it is now the Greek Prime Minister whose interest is to be supported by the President of the French Republic “face the difficult negotiations that will open within 19 countries in the euro zone, said Christian Lequesne, Professor Ceri (Sciences-Po) in La Croix.

The new Greek Finance Minister, Yanis Varoufakis, has also chosen to come to Paris the week next attempt to seek support, before traveling to London and Italy. Alexis Tsipras should come to Paris on Wednesday after Tuesday Rome

-. Hailed as the FN –

Politically French interior, at first glance, public support – disowned by Tsipras – the leader of the National Front, Marine Le Pen, may seem confusing, from a family of thought diametrically opposed to that of the descendant of anti-communist Nazi resistance

But “in reality. there is a convergence of issues “between the two on the rejection of austerity and a” strong distrust vis-à-vis how the EU is governed, “said political analyst Philippe Braud to AFP .

This should not, however, make it possible in France the government alliance forged SYRIZA in Greece with a nationalist right-wing party, alter-ego in France of the movement “the Republic Standing” directed by Nicolas Dupont -Aignan that he too welcomed the victory of SYRIZA.

Such an alliance “is not transposable in France (…) it is misjudged by the electorate” says Braud, recalling “the manifest failure” wiped by Chevènement when he joined forces with Paul Marie Knives a sovereigntist right at a European election.

” Within the euro area, Tsipras is in an unequal power and to his detriment; it may disappoint the electorate in his country, and the state of grace may be short-lived, “Mr. Braud, for whom he is” not completely sure that Syriza is a good springboard in France, even for the Left Party. “

Political analyst expects the opening of negotiations on the debt that the Greeks would simply cancel while the rest of Europe proposes to develop the best” Once the French taxpayers, even those on the left, will discover that the interests of the Greeks may diverge from theirs, they will become disillusioned, “he predicted.
