Pas un sou, pas une arme pour les fauteurs de guerre ! | PT

Macron has said it and repeated it many times: he wants to shift the country into a war economy.
How? By diverting the budgets of public services towards the war budget.
First 10 billion euros in 2024… and it will be twice as bad next year, i.e. 20 billion euros more!
In the viewfinder of the government, “systems in favor of youth, employment policies, vocational training and apprenticeship, medical devices, long-term illnesses” (Les Échos, March 7).
To implement For this policy, the government seeks to secure the broadest support, including that of “left” parties. It is clear that he obtained it.
Already in November 2022, none of the group leaders in the National Assembly had voted against the resolution in favor of the delivery of weapons to Zelensky.
On February 27, 2024, the head of the LFI list in the European election, Manon Aubry, as well as all French “left” deputies, voted in the European Parliament for 50 billion additional war credits, after several other votes to this effect. . In total, 200 billion euros were granted by European institutions and member states to Zelensky.
On March 12, 2024, during the debate organized in the National Assembly on the France-Ukraine agreement, the Macronists , the right, the PS, the Greens voted for the Macron-Zelenski agreement (an additional 3 billion in “support for Ukraine”). The RN abstained, disagreeing with certain clauses. France Insoumise and the Communist Party, hostile to sending troops to Ukraine, voted against. But all claimed to be in the same camp of “support for Ukraine”.

In the current conflict, should the workers side with one side or the other?
The only side the workers can side with is that of the Russian women who are demanding the return of their brothers and husbands from the front where they are sent by force, that of young Ukrainians increasingly opposed to the ongoing butchery.

No one can claim to oppose the war by voting for war credits.

Not a penny, not a weapon for the warmongers!
Neither Putin nor Zelensky, independence of the workers’ movement!
The hundreds of billions of war for schools, hospitals and the needs of the population!
