What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Georges Marchais mainly in connection with the history of the union of the left and the Common Programme. He places him at the last meeting on the Common Programme1 and mentions him, along with Mitterrand and Fabre, in the videos of the break-up of the union of the left2. In his reading of Clouscard on the metamorphoses of the class struggle, he recalls that Marchais denounced the profit made from an immigrant workforce, and that nobody labelled him far-right for it at the time3. He adds that, in Marchais's view, real development aid would have been the industrialisation of the countries concerned, and he states that he was not racist4. He also quotes his phrase about "the German anarchist Cohn-Bendit", which the press distorted5. Finally, the name comes up in an anecdote in which a fishmonger from Bastia offers Clouscard's L'Être et le code6.
