Dear subscribers,

Now alone in the world on the left or almost facing a PS scattered like a puzzle, divided Greens (understatement) and a tortured PCF, he can take off his mask and put on his favorite tunic: that of an extreme leftist militant that this admirer of Robespierre, Marx, Lenin and Castro fed on Trotskyist milk has always been.
Oh certainly, he does not deny all of his long stay in the Mitterrandie of the 80s and in the socialism of the following years.
