Presidential 2027: CGT Prepares to Fight Far-Right, 'Worst Enemy of the Working Class'

The French General Confederation of Labour (CGT) is mobilizing its forces to confront the far-right, labeling it the "worst enemy of the working class." The union leadership is particularly worried about the increasing alignment between business leaders and the National Rally (RN) party.

During the union's congress in Tours, which runs until Friday, Sophie Binet and her organization are using the event to underscore the critical need to challenge the far-right's influence. This stance comes as France gears up for the 2027 presidential elections, with the CGT aiming to galvanize its members and the broader labor movement.

The CGT's strong opposition reflects a broader concern within certain sectors of French society about the political trajectory of the far-right and its potential impact on workers' rights and social policies. The union's congress serves as a platform to articulate its strategy and rally support for its anti-far-right campaign.
