Downstream IRL: Aaron Bastani in Conversation with Jean-Luc Melénc... — live event

This event will take place in EartH Theatre. What is The Future of the Left? In this recorded Downstream IRL Aaron Bastani talks to Jean-Luc Melénchon, leader of La France Insoumise and three time candidate for the French Presidency. They’ll be discussing Melénchon’s book Now, The People!, his vision for a citizen’s revolution, non-alignment in international policies and strategies for mobilising the radical left to transform the capitalist system. They will also discuss Melénchon’s career, the state of the French left and what’s next for La France Insoumise. What are the prospects for a Le Pen presidency? And how close are the French far-right to power? Will Melénchon run for President again given he narrowly missed the final run-off last time? And is he the best candidate to stop the likes of Le Pen and Jordan Bardella? Before Aaron speaks to Jean-Luc, Ash Sarkar will question Faiza Shaheen about the opportunities to build a stronger left in the UK. Is a new party also needed on this
