With an anti-capitalist platform and slates composed of trade union and student activists, anti-racist organizers, workers, teachers, lawyers, and revolutionary militants, they won two seats on the municipal council of Saint-Denis and achieved very strong results nationwide. This was the first time the organization has run candidates in these elections.<\/p>\n<p>RP slates garnered over 12,000 votes nationally in Saint-Denis, Paris 13, Saint-Avold, Toulouse, Le Mans, Rennes, Marseille, Montpellier, and Bordeaux. With 7.13 percent of the vote, Elsa Marcel and Dorian Gonthier won seats on the Saint-Denis municipal council. Labor leader Christian Porta secured 6.33 percent in Saint-Avold, and Mathilde Lant\u00e9 achieved 7.4 percent in the 4th and 5th districts of Marseille. Furthermore, the RP lists significantly outperformed other left-wing forces wherever they competed \u2014 including Lutte Ouvri\u00e8re (LO).<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"fr\">\u00ab Ce soir c&#8217;est une \u00e9norme d\u00e9faite pour le PS, LFI remporte la mairie et Revolution Permanente entre au conseil municipal avec le plus gros score de l&#8217;extr\u00eame-gauche depuis des d\u00e9cennies.

This serves as a foothold for building a revolutionary Left within the country.<\/p>\n<p>This Sunday, nine candidates from RP stood in the municipal elections. This marked a first for our revolutionary organization, which has gained prominence in recent years for its active role in the country\u2019s workers\u2019 and student movements, its solidarity with Palestine, and its revolutionary run in the 2022 presidential election \u2014 where Anasse Kazib secured over 160 official endorsements. Following successful campaigns that resonated deeply in every city where we fielded candidates, the results achieved by our slates in this first round constitute a genuine success.<\/p>\n<p>In total \u2014 and against a backdrop of high voter abstention, the ongoing crisis of Macronism, and political polarization \u2014 our anti-capitalist platform garnered over 12,000 votes nationwide. This platform advocates for the requisition of vacant housing, directly challenges the prevailing \u201csecurity consensus\u201d and the arming of municipal police forces, and incorporates measures such as placing public services under the control of workers and communities, as well as ending state subsidies for large corporations. This vision was championed by slates composed of workers, students, and lawyers dedicated to serving the public \u2014 groups that loudly and clearly highlight the urgent need to rebuild a revolutionary left in this country to fight back against the corporate class and professional politicians.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Breakthroughs in Saint-Denis, Saint-Avold, Marseille, and Paris (13th Arrondissement)<\/h2>\n<p>In Saint-Denis \u2014 the second-largest city in the \u00cele-de-France region, where Socialist Party (PS) Mayor Hanotin was defeated in the first round by Bally Bagayoko (a member of La France Insoumise) \u2014 the slate led by lawyer Elsa Marcel secured over 7 percent of the vote (totaling 1,894 votes) and won two seats on the municipal council. This marks the highest electoral result ever achieved by a far-left campaign in the city\u2019s history \u2014 a feat made possible by a sustained, long-term campaign targeting not only the incumbent mayor but also the Communist Party (PCF), holding it accountable for decades of municipal mismanagement that has contributed to the city\u2019s current dire situation, as well as for the half-measures advocated by the joint LFI-PCF slate. From the issue of police brutality to that of rent costs \u2014 spanning concerns regarding healthcare, housing, and education, and not forgetting the struggle against the genocide in Palestine \u2014 RP sought throughout the campaign to offer anti-capitalist answers to the aspirations of local residents, placing the imperative of building a response \u201cfrom below\u201d at the very center of its efforts. At Saint-Denis City Hall last night, these results were met with immense enthusiasm by the large number of activists and supporters who took part in the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>In Saint-Avold, Moselle \u2014 a stronghold of the Far Right \u2014 RP backed the \u201cWorkers\u2019 and Solidarity\u201d slate led by Christian Porta: an agri-food worker, trade union activist, and member of RP nationally renowned for his successful fight for reinstatement following his firing. The list secured 6.3 percent of the vote, garnering over 400 votes. In a political landscape dominated by local political elites and the Far Right, this result signals the emergence of a new political force \u2014 structured around workers, former \u201cYellow Vest\u201d activists, and trade unionists \u2014 situated at the heart of a working-class town in which the National Rally (RN) hopes to gain influence. \u201cObviously, one cannot erase decades of deindustrialization, social resignation, betrayals by the institutional Left, and reactionary media onslaughts in the span of a single election; however, this marks an important milestone,\u201d explained RP\u2019s candidates, who drew nearly 250 people to a campaign rally just one week prior to the vote. Finally, in the 4th and 5th arrondissements of Marseille, lawyer Mathilde Lant\u00e9 garnered over 2,500 votes comprising 7.4 percent of the total vote. This result is a testament to the significant strides made by RP in a city where our organization has been active for only a few years \u2014 this victory is a sharp rebuke of the media blackout surrounding Lant\u00e9\u2019s candidacy in recent months. Similarly, in Paris\u2019s 13th Arrondissement, university activist Ariane Anemoyannis secured 1,913 votes and 2.9 percent of the vote. This represents a very significant result for such a vast Parisian district; it reflects a grassroots campaign that successfully mobilized a broad base of support and forged ties with local struggles \u2014 whether that of hospital staff at Piti\u00e9-Salp\u00eatri\u00e8re, artists at Les Frigos, or immigrant children. Furthermore, the campaign tackled key local issues, such as denouncing Xavier Niel\u2019s stranglehold on the 13th Arrondissement and advocating for the requisition of Station F to be placed under residents\u2019 control. This success comes just a few months after Le Poing Lev\u00e9 \u2014 the university organization for which Ariane Anemoyannis is a representative \u2014 garnered 25,000 votes nationwide during the CROUS student elections.<span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_91763_1_1\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">1<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_91763_1_1\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\">In recent student elections for CROUS (Regional Centre for University and School Services) in February 2026, Le Poing Lev\u00e9, the student group of RP, became the fourth largest political force in the student movement nationally, averaging 18.1 percent of the vote across the 13 schools where it ran, securing 17 representatives. They were the leading force in Bordeaux, with 31.23 percent of the vote, and the second largest in major academies such as Paris, Toulouse, Versailles, and Cr\u00e9teil.<\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_91763_1_1').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_91763_1_1', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top right', relative: true, offset: [10, 10], });<\/script><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A New Revolutionary Left Begins to Make Itself Heard<\/h2>\n<p>Wherever they stood for election, RP\u2019s revolutionary slates achieved relatively high vote totals \u2014 this is an achievement in light of the local weight of the institutional Left and the presence of a multitude of far-left slates. In Rennes, RP garnered 1.8 percent of the vote (1,298 votes) in the face of three other far-left lists \u2014 from the PT, LO, and NPA-R \u2014 while in Bordeaux, under similar circumstances, we secured 0.9 percent of the vote (895 votes). These were scenarios in which we had nationally proposed to *Lutte Ouvri\u00e8re* and the NPA-R that we launch joint lists\u2014a proposal that met with no success. In Le Mans \u2014 a city where RP has existed for only a few years \u2014 our working-class and revolutionary slate obtained 1.65 percent of the vote (757 votes), while in Montpellier, Max Muller secured 1.4 percent (1,220 votes) within an ultra-fragmented political landscape. The 1 percent of the vote garnered by Vanessa Pedinotti in Toulouse (1,611 votes) \u2014 despite the presence of a deeply entrenched and dynamic La France Insoumise \u2014 also demonstrates the resonance of a campaign that placed the rejection of militarization at its very center. All told, by widening the gap between itself and the rest of the Far Left across the board, these results demonstrate that a new revolutionary Left is beginning to make itself heard.<\/p>\n<p>These results are inseparable from the dynamic campaigns that preceded them \u2014 campaigns during which RP activists, along with the hundreds of people who came forward to lend a hand, knocked on tens of thousands of doors, organized hundreds of leaflet distribution drives, and drew over 2,600 people to their campaign rallies. These efforts served to bring to the fore issues such as the rejection of austerity, radical opposition to militarization, the denunciation of professional politicians, the necessity of an anti-capitalist environmentalist movement, the rejection of gentrification policies, and \u2014 in the case of Bordeaux \u2014 the city\u2019s history of slavery. They also placed central emphasis on anti-imperialism, denouncing the genocide in Palestine as well as the imperialist war against Iran and France\u2019s complicity through its so-called \u201cprotection operations.\u201d Finally, these issues were articulated through a dialogue with workers, young people, and residents of working-class neighborhoods, seeking to link our anti-capitalist program to massive problems such as housing and public services. At the same time, we sought to openly challenge the prevailing security consensus \u2014 including the arming of municipal police and the use of video surveillance \u2014 not by making empty electoral promises, but by presenting a program of struggle that must be won through mass mobilization.<\/p>\n<p>These are all subjects on which we sought to open a debate, positioning ourselves as the fiercest opponents of the incumbent mayors \u2014 whether they be Greens like Hurmic (and his security-focused record in Bordeaux); Socialists like Delafosse, Hanotin, or Le Foll (in Montpellier, Saint-Denis, and Le Mans, respectively); or right-wing mayors like Moudenc (in Toulouse). Yet, while doing so, we also highlighted the dead end represented by the institutional strategies of La France Insoumise \u2014 whether regarding the fight to end police violence, the requisitioning of vacant housing, or the effort to put an end to professional politicians \u2014 by instead advocating for the right to recall elected officials and for their salaries to be capped at the level of a nurse or a teacher. This political debate was sustained throughout the entire campaign \u2014 a campaign during which RP nevertheless consistently defended La France Insoumise against the regime\u2019s campaign of criminalization, which intensified in the wake of the death of neo-fascist activist Quentin Deranque.<\/p>\n<p>These are the very issues that R\u00e9volution Permanente will continue to champion \u2014 within workers\u2019 and student struggles, within mobilizations in working-class neighborhoods, and within the Saint-Denis municipal council \u2014 acting as a conduit for these communities\u2019 struggles and ensuring that a revolutionary voice is heard. Above all \u2014 at a time marked by the resurgence of wars and the advance of the Far Right \u2014 the resonance of anti-capitalist and revolutionary ideas highlights the imperative of forging a project capable of organizing these aspirations. Such a project must harness them for the purpose of rebuilding a revolutionary, anti-capitalist, and anti-imperialist Left \u2014 one firmly rooted in workplaces and educational institutions \u2014 rather than squandering them on yet another round of alliances with the institutional Left, which ultimately serve only to bolster the enemies of the working class, such as the Socialist Party. This is also the prerequisite for securing genuine victories for workers and the masses in the face of the ruling classes\u2019 agenda.<\/p>\n<div class=\"speaker-mute footnotes_reference_container\">\n<div class=\"footnote_container_prepare\">\n<p><span class=\"footnote_reference_container_label pointer\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">Notes<\/span><span class=\"footnote_reference_container_collapse_button\" style=\"display: none;\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">[<a id=\"footnote_reference_container_collapse_button_91763_1\"><\/a>+]<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"footnote_references_container_91763_1\">\n<table class=\"footnotes_table footnote-reference-container\">\n<caption class=\"accessibility\">Notes<\/caption>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"footnotes_plugin_reference_row\">\n<th id=\"footnote_plugin_reference_91763_1_1\" class=\"footnote_plugin_index pointer\" scope=\"row\"><a class=\"footnote_plugin_link\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"footnote_index_arrow\">\u2191<\/span>1<\/a><\/th>\n<td class=\"footnote_plugin_text\">In recent student elections for CROUS (Regional Centre for University and School Services) in February 2026, Le Poing Lev\u00e9, the student group of RP, became the fourth largest political force in the student movement nationally, averaging 18.1 percent of the vote across the 13 schools where it ran, securing 17 representatives.
