After Brazil and Poland, the rebellious Manon Aubry continues her political road trip in the United States

Manon Aubry continues her world tour. After traveling in recent months to Brazil, Portugal and several times to Hungary and Poland, the MEP from La France insoumise (LFI) headed to the United States. This Wednesday, October 29, she first appeared in a video on social networks in Washington, in front of the Capitol, unsurprisingly evoking the storming that occurred on January 6, 2021.

“We know when the extreme right takes power, but we never know when they give it back! Remember January 6, 2021, when Trump and his supporters stormed the Capitol. Democracy is fragile, the far right threatens it. We must stand together”she said.

After Washington… New York

This Thursday, Manon Aubry then went to New York where she first met the economist Joseph Stiglitz, “without whom many battles for tax justice would never have taken place”she assures. “It warns in particular of the risks of a tax evasion strategy if a Zucman tax is adopted at a discount. Word to the wise – the battle continues”she wrote in a publication on X, sharing a photo alongside the American economist.

In a crusade for tax justice, the MEP also went to the United Nations General Assembly, “ where a new international treaty is being negotiated to prevent the big fortunes and ultra-rich from practicing tax evasion”she explains in another publication. And to launch a new dig at the big bosses: “ Tax the rich: an international message to the attention of Elon Musk and Bernard Arnault. »

Manon Aubry must also support the Democratic candidate for mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani. The European elected official plans to come down “in the streets of New York with Zohran activists to help achieve victory”: “In a week, New York can really shift to the left! Zohran Mamdani embodies this hope of rupture, carried by youth! »
