Ensemble (sometimes written Ensemble!, full name in French 'Ensemble - Mouvement pour une Alternative de Gauche, Ecologique et Solidaire') is a French political movement, defining itself as anticapitalist, antiracist, feminist and ecosocialist, which was launched 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LE POIREAU ROUGE )〕 in November 2013 by several smaller groupings,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ensemble: naissance d’un troisième pilier dans le Front de gauche )〕 including: * the Anticapitalist Left (France) (French: Gauche Anticapitaliste), a group formed in 2011 as a tendency within the Trotskyist-influenced New Anticapitalist Party (which it left in 2012) advocating an electoral strategy based on unity with other anti-neoliberal and anticapitalist forces, in particular the Left Front; * Les Alternatifs, a 'red-green' organisation founded in 1988 some of whose roots go back to the Unified Socialist Party (France) (French: Parti Socialiste Unifié, PSU) and influenced by the movement for workers' control or self-management (French : 'autogestion'); * the Federation for a Social and Ecological Alternative (Fédération pour une Alternative Sociale et Ecologique, FASE), a group formed in 2008 including many former members of the French Communist Party, and including the association Communistes Unitaires. The membership of Ensemble is thus made up of activists coming from various left-wing and radical political traditions: altercommunist, trotskyist, feminist, 'red-green', ecologist etc., as well as trade unionists and global justice activists (alterglobalists). Paid-up membership in June 2015 was approximately 1,200 (internal sources), with several hundred sympathisers. The movement is a member of the Left Front (France) (French: Front de Gauche), which also includes the French Communist Party and the Left Party (Parti de Gauche). The candidate of the Left Front, Jean-Luc Mélenchon of the Left Party, obtained 11.1% of the votes in the first round of the French presidential election, 2012. Ensemble aims towards strengthening the Left Front by building a broad movement against austerity. It opposes all forms of inequality, racism and oppression including homophobia, islamophobia and antisemitism, and seeks to develop links with anticapitalist groupings outside the Left Front, including more left-wing members of Europe Ecology - The Greens (French: Europe Ecologie-Les Verts). Internationally, it has been involved in discussions and joint activities with the Party of the European Left, Podemos (Spain), Syriza (Greece), Sinn Fein (Ireland), the Left Bloc (Portugal) and others. Ensemble was formally constituted at a conference〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Déclaration d’Ensemble à l'issue de son Assemblée des 31 janvier et 1er février 2015. )〕 held 31 January-1 February 2015 in Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis). Considering that the merger process had been successfully completed, most of its founding groups then decided to dissolve themselves. A national delegate meeting takes place in principle 3 times per year. A national coordinating committee ('Equipe d'Animation Nationale, EAN') meets weekly. Its spokespersons include Myriam Martin,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Myriam Martin: Dire le nom d'Ensemble au sein du Front de gauche )〕 Clémentine Autain〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Clémentine Autain: La fin du Front de gauche serait suicidaire )〕 and Jean-François Pellissier. Two Members of Parliament, Jacqueline Fraysse and François Asensi, both former communists who left the French Communist Party in 2010, were, until it was dissolved in 2015, members of the FASE, one of the original constituent groups of Ensemble. An unknown number of local elected officials (including Mayors) and councillors are also members or associates of Ensemble. Philippe Marlière, professor of political science at University College London, and a longstanding member of the French Socialist Party, and later of the New Anticapitalist Party, joined Ensemble〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Philippe Marlière: Rassemblons toute la gauche qui veut en finir avec ce gouvernement )〕 in February 2015. The headquarters of the movement is in Bagnolet (Seine-Saint-Denis), near Paris. Ensemble! has a website〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ensemble - Mouvement pour une alternative de gauche écologiste et solidaire )〕 which is regularly updated, and publishes bulletins, leaflets and occasional brochures. Members of the movement are free to publish articles on the website, using a blog facility. The movement holds an annual summer school (French: 'université d'été') in August. The first was held in Pau, with approximately 300 participants. The second〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LE POIREAU ROUGE )〕 took place at the university of Bordeaux from 22 to 26 August 2015, attracting approximately 420 participants.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Seconde Université d'été d'Ensemble : un vrai succès ! )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ensemble (political movement)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
