http://www.spokesmanbooks.com/leftparties.pdf Good compilation, but moreover has an English translation of Lafontaine's speech in this Parti de Gauche video: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7k...rti-de-ga_news (70 minutes into a video that has, as one of the guests, someone representing Evo Morales only 14 minutes after the beginning) EDITED by JR
What's so good about it? Lafontaine should have supported the NPA. The French are losing confidence and what they need is a boost. Someone must tell them that they need to struggle. Even though Lafontaine, who resigned in front of the party's opportunist, rightist, only-but-parliamentarism wing, should also have boosted his own party's confidence as the party of opposition.
I said it was a good book only because Spokesman compiled a bunch of texts, not because of the content in Lafontaine's words. I agree with you re. Lafontaine's resignation, though.
