Popular primary: between modernity and radicality, a new generation of activists on the left

INQUIRY – The vote for the Popular Primary, an initiative by activists to unite the left a few months before the presidential election, started on Thursday. An unidentified political object.


A few hours before the proclamation of the result, Sunday evening, the loop crackles.

Like a campfire in which everyone throws their piece of very dry resinous.

The latest ideas flow, reviews, links, photos, alerts.

Mouths and screams from the heart.

Average age, 25 years old.

On this WhatsApp thread of the organizers of the Popular Primary, only one is an exception by his reserve and by his age too, it is Claude Alphandéry.

At 99, still incredibly agile and curious, this historical figure of the social and solidarity economy watches over them.

With a sparkling voice, the former great resistance fighter remembers other endless discussions, other stormy exchanges he may have had at their age, in the maquis.

All things considered, being well aware that today they come from a rather homogeneous environment,

"the same and beautiful energy, against all odds".
