A DISTRICT THAT LEANS LEFT

 

STRIKERS DEMONSTRATE AT PLACE D'ITALIE

(MAY 2024)

The ambiance favors them. I have never seen right-wing posters in the 13th, but there are many from the left. Some of them: 

Probably 2022, in the space leading to the series of parks on the site of the former Say sugar refinery

"For public services against the Europe of money"

                                                      Before the legislative elections of June 2024 on the parc de Choisy railing 

"Where do you think you're going if you go right?"

 

On the obscure corner of rue Sthrau and rue Nationale

"Racists vote. And you?"  "Where are you on June 9?" (The day of the European elections) "The rich vote. And you?"

Corner, rue de Tolbiac and rue Nationale, April 2024

"The Dignity of Work" / "Movement of Communist Youth of France" / "Solidarity with Palestine"

More Communist posters (the party is very different from that of the Cold War)

Corner  rue de Tolbiac / rue du Château des Rentiers, June 2024

"Against fascism!" / The force to change it all!" (France Unbowed) / "Animal reign"

Place d'Italie, January 2025

Left: Join the Communist revolution / Middle: Health school transport research justice culture finance leisure information: Public Service Forum  / Right : Billionaires will not defeat us 

Railing of parc de Choisy, February 2025

"To change it all, Popular Front" (a coalition of left-wing parties inspired by that of 1936)
