French Civil Society Takes Aim at “Racist Party” Le Front National
by Ron Agam
French philosopher Bernard Henri Levy started a campaign in France aimed at reducing the appeal of the xenophobic and racist party Le Front National whose leader Marine LePen is a candidate to become President of France. This campaign appeals to intellectuals, artists, politicians and member of the civil society. It is a campaign of ideas that are selected by a jury and then published in La Regle du Jeu, a literary review founded by the philosopher and highly praised by the European intellectual community.
This weekend my contribution was published in form of an illustration that I created, illustrating the paradigm and conflict posed by the Front National. I wanted to share this with you as I believe that the danger of this party is real and menacing to democracy in France.
