Philippe Poutou Thursday in Toulouse: “It is too late to be moderate”
Candidate of the New Anticapitalist Party for the presidential election, Philippe Poutou is at a meeting in Toulouse, Mermoz room, this Thursday, April 7, at 8 p.m.
In 2017, it brought together 2,000 people in the Mermoz room. Toulouse is traditionally, with Paris, the biggest meeting of the NPA candidate.
Using your slogan “our lives are worth more than their profits”, does Emmanuel Macron agree with you?
It’s a big demagoguery because he did the opposite. Hospitals did not have the means, including during the health crisis. The ORPEA scandal, the McKinsey affair demonstrated that public money was used to fill the pockets of its wealthy friends. It is his strategy to say the opposite of what he does.
Getting out of capitalism, as you want, is it possible?
If that’s not possible, it’s a disaster. Either we break with the capitalist economy in favor of an economy that meets the needs of the people, or, if we don’t succeed, it is the result of environmental damage without possible turning back, it is social setbacks like retirement at 65, or working at the RSA… The capitalist system does not stop. The only way to do this is for the population to stop this infernal system. It must be understood that crises are linked to this system. This is why we must discuss an exit from capitalism. It’s too late to be moderate.
You advocate leaving NATO at a time when the countries of Eastern Europe see it as protection against Russia…
The most dangerous in fact is Putin who attacks, bombs, kills. But facing Russian imperialism, there are several other imperialisms. There isn’t just one big bad guy in the world. How many dictatorships today are supported by resolute regimes?
