For the living, let's stop the far right!
On June 9, the far right made a historic breakthrough in France during the European elections. Following Emmanuel Macron’s dissolution of the national assembly, new legislative elections will be held on June 30 and July 7, leaving the risk of this political current seizing power. Focale pour le Sauvage, One Voice, ASPAS and Pôle Grands Prédateurs firmly oppose and denounce the far-right’s facade ecological program, and call on every citizen to support candidates genuinely committed to the Living.
Both through its votes in the various chambers of Parliament and through its positions, the extreme right is a real threat to biodiversity, the climate and the animal cause. Faced with the risk of seeing its ideas come to power in the next few days and as associations for the defense and protection of wildlife, we cannot remain indifferent to such a situation.
In particular, our associations would like to point out that the Rassemblement National has opposed the European Green Pact and the Nature Restoration Act, which would allow the implementation of measures to restore 20% of Europe’s degraded ecosystems.
We would also point out that representatives of this party campaign in favor of downgrading wolves from their strictly protected species’ status, and regularly defend the cruelest hunting and farming practices, such as hunting with hounds, underground hunting, trapping and factory farming. More generally, the Rassemblement National is opposed to the most ambitious proposals in terms of environmental protection.
Last but not least, we are very concerned about the freedoms of associations, which have been restricted in places where the elected representatives of the Front National, and then of the Rassemblement National (and other extreme right-wingers with or without labels), have been in positions of power.
So, because biodiversity needs us, our associations for the protection of nature and the defense of animals (including humans) are calling on all citizens committed to the Living World to mobilize in order to block the extreme right and to vote in these early legislative elections.
On June 30 and July 7, let’s vote for a livable world that respects life!
