GENET Jean (1910-1986)
When the worst is always certain
AUTOGRAPHIC MANUSCRIT 6 [May 1974]. 7 pages of different sizes in blue and red ink. Numerous erasures and corrections.
Jean Genet calls to vote for François Mitterrand against Valéry
Giscard d'Estaing.
"[...] Here, when Giscard is elected, he will be elected for fourteen years. The right will be in power, but with the extreme right and its imbecilic mythology.
In power this time completely. Against Mitterrand, the perfidies that some leftist leaders addressed during fifteen days to a public defenseless before the usual television nonsense, these perfidies, which were not warnings, are likely to remain, to leave scars in all spectators, to provoke fear of socialism, whatever its definition. This sort of spontaneity brings about 3% to the far left and will have served only to that end. The 'new political force', as Libération writes, will be even more dispersed when Giscard is elected. It will have shone on an election night [...] It is obvious: the 44% for Mitterrand in the first round are made up of lucid men and women, capable of understanding their choice. And the questioning of this choice, the insult to Mitterrand, would call for a harsher word, much harsher, than that of irresponsible.
The political error, if it were not repaired in the second round, would also deserve a word other than blunder [...] But above all what I have just written, what concerns me and obliges me to write? Where is my interest? At the same time it is beyond me and concerns only me: I need the transformation of the fate of the disinherited workers, of the immigrants, of the transformation of the Third World, and even of its metamorphosis, of the new relations of Europe with the
Third World. The uncertainty is unbearable: what is announced is perhaps the appearance of popular powers in France and in all of Europe, or else it is the imposing brutality of the Anonymous Exploiter, exploiting first of all the resources of the Third World, its geological resources, its minerals, its labor force, the labor force that is not paid according to the accumulation of work that is demanded of it, the human livestock that is running as if it were already on giant safaris. Then France, Europe, the world of white capital, will be rich and powerful. This wealth will be the crushing of the Third World, its impoverishment of all kinds: physical, material, cultural. Let Giscard pass, he will not pass alone: the major Imbecility follows and precedes him [...]".
