Raquel Garrido: “The Distance”: A healthy, breathable space, far from charismatic figures
Raquel Garrido, former deputy of Saint-DenisOn Saturday, July 13, she explained on the France Info website why she and other former rebels had formed a new movement called “L’After” (the Ecological and Social Republican League). “We needed a healthy, breathing space, built on respect for activists,” she said.
New organization needed
Raquel Garrido insisted on the need to organize differently. She explained that “L’Apres” is not a political party. It is a framework for intellectual reflection directed towards political practice. A member of the association can also belong to another political party. “We want to put our experience at the service of the nation,” she stressed, explaining that “Post” aims to be a link.
Reply to a real request
Raquel Garrido explained that this movement was born in response to a request from hundreds of people. These people were looking for an open and caring framework to deliberate. They did not find it within La France insoumise and the left in general. “In La France insoumise, we are pawns in an invading world with a charismatic leader,” she criticized, denouncing the lack of space for deliberate and expressive action for activists.
Space for political practice
Therefore, “Post” aspires to be a space where intellectual thought and political practice coexist in an environment that respects activists. This new movement, which was initiated by Alexis Corbier, Clementine Autan, Hendrik Duffy and Raquel GarridoIt aims to offer an alternative to those who, within La France Insoumise, felt crushed by the party's hierarchical structure.
Perspectives for the future
Through “Post” they seek to give a new perspective to political practice. By providing a space for reflection and exchange, they hope to attract those who want to actively participate in political life without feeling constrained by rigid structures. This movement also wants to promote a more participatory and inclusive democracy.
