Rencontre avec Arya Meroni

It is a paradox that never ceases to amaze: everywhere, feminist, anti-racist, ecological, LGBTQIA+ and anti-capitalist struggles are mobilizing massively, renewing the activist demographic. Yet, at the same time, the far right is making a spectacular breakthrough in many countries, and dictating the political agenda in France, just months before high-stakes elections. How is it that such powerful social movements are accompanied by a series of defeats for the left? In La loose finale, Arya Meroni questions the methods of the "progressive bloc," which generates consensus, drapes itself in moral superiority, and gets entangled in posturing, while striving to outline another path. The journalist, co-founder of Problematik media, supported by the Arty Farty media incubator, defends the movements that revitalize collective struggle on a daily basis, far from the spotlight, and chart paths out of powerlessness.

Every Thursday evening at Hôtel71, a free meeting open to all with cultural or media professionals, to understand our times and prepare for the future. The meetings are followed by a friendly gathering over a drink.
