They aim to "construct an alternative to Emmanuel Macron and to combat the racist project of the extreme right". And they will present joint lists in all constituencies already at the first round of the election. Bonne chance! 👍

Macron's hazardous decision to dissolve parliament has achieved a miracle: to unite the French Left. Socialists, La France Insoumise, Greens, and Communists will stand together for election as the New Popular Front:

Hinweis: Alle Grafiken zur Wählerwanderung sind nur bedingt nützlich. Die meisten beziehen sich auf die Bundestagswahlen 2021, als die SPD außergewöhnlich stark war, CDU und AfD außergewöhnlich schwach waren. Man sieht da vor allem Folgen dieser politischen Konjunktur. Kaum mehr.

Support for Palestinian rights is not necessarily anti-Zionist; anti-Zionism is not necessarily anti-Semitic; but, yes, anti-Semites find anti-Zionism congenial and friendly ground, and the see-no-evil-hear-no-evil denial that there's anti-Semitism in the mix does no one any good.

This article is one of the rather rare cases of publishing a "null-finding" - counter to the documented bias of publishing proof of effects rather than disproof. We address this in the conclusion (h/t @benansell.bsky.social for input on this).

Of course there are other ways in which statutory minimum wages may be harmful for unions, for example by infringing on bargaining autonomy. 5/6

We conducted an event study with country-level data and a multi-level analysis with individual union membership as dependent variable. We could not confirm that minimum wages crowd out union density. 3/6

...This is plausible, and many unions (esp. in Scandinavia) mention this as one of their reasons to oppose statutory minimum wages. We put it to the test. 2/6

Können sich wehrhafte Demokratien wirklich gegen extreme Parteien verteidigen? Ja, sagt Giovanni Capoccia. Es gibt Beispiele. Er hat Demokratien erforscht, die überlebt haben, in der Zwischenkriegszeit. Drei Faktoren, einer davon eine notwendige Bedingung: „Der demokratische Konsens muss halten.“

This is the only thing I can find in English about Ilaria Salis, an Italian anti-fascist being detained in Hungary in inhumane conditions and facing 16 years in prison. The far-right Italian government is doing nothing to help her against their friend Orban.
