France is set to make decisive political choices in the coming year. On one side stands a nationalist right wing on the rise, increasingly aligned with business interests, aiming to take power by stigmatizing immigration and foreigners. In its bag of tricks: anti-immigrant referendums promising to « give the people their voice back. » Faced with this, the left dithers, hesitates, is divided and stammers.

The left should do the same, but focus on solidarity and justice.
