Editorial: Liberation

• France is at risk of succumbing to the extreme right, as other liberal democracies have done so.
• The advent of extreme right to power could have devastating effects on the European project.
• An extreme right in power domestically would be a disaster in democratic, economic, social, ecological, and societal terms.
• The attempted de-demonization of far-right politics and its possible acceptance by the public does not reduce its dangerousness.
• The struggle against far-right extremism should not only be ideological, but also in terms of economic, social, and ecological proposals.

Conclusion: To counter the rise of the far right, it is vital that left-wing parties unite and work on recovering their influence in political life, drawing on their strengths in terms of values and proposals.
