		Arlette the Starlette, as she is affectionately known, is riding sky-high in this, her fifth presidential campaign.
		Laguiller, of course, has sworn that she will never endorse the prime minister, describing him as a "traitor to the working class" and a "capitalist turncoat".
		Laguiller's political career was launched, as the party's spokeswoman, in the 1973 general elections.

	An interview with Lutte Ouvrière leader Arlette Laguiller, and comment by Peter Schwarz
		It does not occur to Laguiller that the aim of a boycott campaign is precisely to create new political conditions and begin the clarification of workers and youth required to change the “relationship of forces”.
		When Laguiller says, “[W]e always put forward proposals that we think are in line with the relationship of forces and with what the working class is prepared to do in a given country,” she sums up, unwittingly, the classic position of political opportunism, as opposed to Marxism.
		Laguiller’s answer to the last question—why she refrained from making an appeal to the voters supporting the LCR and the PT—demonstrates LO’s characteristic complacency and passivity.

	BBC News \| EUROPE \| Profile: Arlette Laguiller
		Arlette Laguiller is a veteran far-left campaigner who over the course of five presidential elections has won herself the mantle of official working class heroine.
		Born in 1940 in the modest Paris neighbourhood of Les Lilas, "Arlette" - the only French politician to be known chiefly by her first name - became a militant in the 1960s.
		But when Laguiller was pressed in a recent TV interview over claims the party discouraged members from marrying so they could concentrate on the cause, she burst into tears and complained of unfair intrusion.

	Socialist Viewpoint

		Laguiller said in an interview at her two-room campaign headquarters in the working class (of course) suburb of Pantin.

	Green Left - FRANCE: An unknown to represent the unknowns
		The sharpest indication is the fact that Laguiller is well ahead of the PCF candidate in the opinion polls.
		The significant showing in favour of Laguiller in the opinion polls indicates that there is a current which wants to show its disapproval, from a left-wing stance, of the government's policies.
		But although the LCR, like Laguiller, is on the side of the workers, it also think that revolutionaries should be involved in the struggles of new generations, like the workers of McDonalds, the feminist struggle, the ecological movement and all the new social movements like the global justice movement.

	Revolutionary shakes up French vote
		Arlette Laguiller, of the organization Lutte Ouvrière (Workers’ Fight), calls for a freeze on layoffs, limits on profits, higher wages, improved retirement benefits and better public services.
		Laguiller, a retired bank teller, has put enormous pressure on Prime Minister Lionel Jospin of the Socialist Party, who is trying to unseat conservative President Jacques Chirac.

	Left Turn: Notes from the Global Intifada (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The two main candidates, Arlette Laguiller of LO, who first ran for president in 1974, and Olivier Besancenot of the LCR, a previously unknown 28-year old postal worker, pulled in nearly 3 million votes.
		While Jospin debated with Chirac on how best to fight insecurite (crime), Laguiller argued that the only insecurity affecting most people is job insecurity and threats to their living standards.
		Jospin was forced to go on the attack against Laguiller after some early polls suggested that she alone might win 10% of the vote.

	The Scotsman - Trotskyite gives Jospin a scare (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Ms Laguiller, who regularly attacks Mr Jospin as a "traitor" to the working classes for his economic policies, has refused to urge her supporters to back him in his expected run-off in the second round against Mr Chirac on 5 May.
		Ms Laguiller was the first female candidate in the presidential elections when she stood for the first time in 1974 and won 2.3 per cent of the vote.
		The engagingly dull Ms Laguiller represents the acceptable face of revolutionary Gallic politics and occupies a special place in the hearts of many disillusioned French voters, who love to hear her expound on the evils of capitalism and manage to ignore the fact that her party backs the overthrow of parliamentary democracy.

	The Voice of the Turtle
		These votes are, instead, going to 62 year-old retired bank clerk Arlette Laguiller, by far the most prominent and popular of the three Far Left candidates, who is at present enjoying unprecedented 10% ratings in the opinion polls, double that of her already-remarkable 1995 result.
		The mainstream Left are seriously worried about Laguiller: Hue spent more of his speech attacking her, on the grounds that her votes are lost in a useless ghetto of protest, than attacking Chirac.
		Significantly, it is not the organisation LO, but Arlette herself -- now so famous that she is known by her first name alone -- who embodies the spirit of revolt, having achieved status as a national institution though the publicity she has received at every presidential election since 1974.

	July 1999: Editorials
		The slate was headed by Alain Krivine for the LCR, and Arlette Laguiller for LO.
		Arlette won 5 percent of the vote in the French presidential elections in 1995.
		The 1995 vote already sent a shock through the French parliamentary left, indicating that a sizable section of the electorate was getting fed up with the opportunism of the traditional working-class parties.
