PARIS, April 25, 2022 (EIRNS)—This presidential campaign has completely neglected the concerns of the French people and the challenges of the world. Our ruling classes are not motivated by the general interest, because they believe they are the sole holders of the legitimate power that they have captured by breaking and entering, as accustomed, or, within the party system, by family or administrative inheritance. They have thus rendered themselves blind and powerless.
Food, housing, lighting, heating, and transportation to work: everything has become too expensive in France. In the world, a France that is subservient to NATO and unable to assert its assets is no longer respected.
• While we are in an emergency at least equivalent to war,
• while an economic dislocation is threatening and an unprecedented technological mutation is taking place,
• while a popular will for change, recovery and social justice is being expressed,
Nobody on our official political scene has elaborated a coherent alternative.
It is with this will, electorally dispersed, that Solidarité & Progrès is listening, trying to give it a face. To give back confidence, hope and enthusiasm to the sovereignty of the people, in order to establish a political project at the level of the world drama that we are going to undergo. Without exclusivity, with [the party of Georges Kuzmanovic] Sovereign Republic, we present candidates to the legislative elections to form an embryo of union and popular bloc, beyond the dispersion that blunt ideologies and personal ambitions have generated.
With the spirit of Jean Jaurès, Charles de Gaulle and the Preamble of our Constitution, so far misused, we fight the financial oligarchy and its military-industrial complex which is our real enemy, not this or that party or this or that nation, however misguided.
France needs explorers who, faced with the threats and uncertainties of the present, see with the eyes of the future.
To raise to the dignity of man all the individuals of the human species is our ambition. Let us rediscover, by taking up the challenge, this enthusiasm which is love of the beautiful, the true and the good.
