Île-de-France : la fin de la banlieue rouge

Abstract: La puissance politique du Parti communiste en France a longtemps reposé sur un système géopolitique spécifique, celui de la banlieue rouge, fondé sur le contrôle de positions de pouvoir locales et un encadrement très fin de la population. La perte de très nombreuses municipalités depuis 1989, les évolutions sociologiques, économiques (désindustrialisation) et urbaines de la banlieue parisienne, la montée de l’abstention et la concentration de la population d’origine étrangère, qui ne vote pas et mi… Show more

“…3 With the varying scale of contributions by other intermediaries such as developers and property consultants that make up "transcalar territorial networks" (Rouanet & Halbert, 2014;Guironnet & Halbert, 2014) 4 In 1977, the French Communist Party assumed the executive leadership of 147 municipalities, i.e. 30% of the Paris regional population (as against 12% in 2008 and 10% in 2014) (Martelli 2014), leading Subra (2004) to declare "the end of the Red Belt". 5 The use of "opportunistic" is not pejorative; this is a term used by the investment industry to qualify investment strategies and assets that aim for higher returns through higher risk (as opposed to risk-averse "core" profiles).…”

“…Le PCF a en effet perdu de nombreuses positions de pouvoir, à tous les échelons administratifs. Il a perdu en une vingtaine d'années plus de la moitié des mairies que ses élus administraient en France métropolitaine et un tiers des municipalités qu'il contrôlait en Île-de-France, sa région historique d'implantation (Subra 2004). La démocratie participative est ainsi apparue comme une opportunité de reconstruire une identité positive, loin de l'image archaïque souvent associée à ce parti.…”

“…Ces collectivités partagent néanmoins une histoire commune propre à la banlieue rouge de Paris, celle du communisme municipal. Si ce phénomène politique n'était pas homogène, il reposait toutefois sur certaines caractéristiques communes de gestion locale, notamment sur un encadrement politique extrêmement fin de la population, par le biais des sections du parti, des services municipaux et d'associations diverses, qui permettaient aux élus de répondre aux besoins immédiats de la classe ouvrière et d'organiser les luttes sociales contre l'État et le patronat (Brunet 1980 ;Fourcaut 1986 ;Bacqué et Fol 1997 ;Subra 2004). On peut ainsi parler d'une culture politique communiste et d'un rapport particulier à la participation.…”

“…Governed by a left coalition led by the French Communist Party (PCF), the municipality of Nanterre is still part of the shrinking ‘red belt’ of left‐wing suburban municipalities that surround the wealthy central municipality of Paris from the east, the north and parts of the south and the west (Fourcaut, 1986; 1992; Stovall, 1990). The selective socio‐political decomposition of this red belt — and its tension‐fraught relationship to non‐European populations that have settled there over the last half century — has of course been one of the preconditions for the rise of a racialized banlieue since the late 1970s (Bacqué and Fol, 1997; Stovall, 2003; Subra, 2004). Today, the eastern edge of Nanterre, where the Social Forum took place, is just a stone's throw away from the glitzy bank towers of La Défense (Paris's second downtown, a concentration of skyscrapers that houses a large part of the global financial operations and corporate headquarters of France's transnational firms) and Neuilly‐sur‐Seine (the wealthy, residential suburb and political base of France's neo‐conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy, which is a model case of bourgeois self‐segregation in the Paris region [Pinçon and Pinçon‐Charlot, 2007]).…”
