The activists of the New Popular Front (NFP) waited until 9 p.m. on Sunday, June 30, to see Paul Vo Van and his team speak, while disillusionment had quickly polluted the atmosphere of the PS office, when we saw on the computer that the pink bar was losing height (25.63%) next to that of Michel Lauzzana (28.41%), and that the screen was going black everywhere in the Lot-et-Garonne countryside.
“We had announced before the vote – after having thought about it collegially – our withdrawal to counter the RN if we were third, and to do everything to prevent it from winning: not a single vote for the RN. The racist, anti-social, anti-ecological hardening is clear and it is frightening. We will be mobilized to vote for the Macronist camp, not with a heavy heart, but we would have liked to be more enthusiastic,” regrets Paul Vo Van.
Agen in the line of fire
“We didn’t come far, but obviously we’re disappointed,” explains the unfortunate third. “I would have liked the government camp to be a little clearer about the republican dimension of this election. Democracy is under threat, we’re heading for very complicated days. There was also this ineffective and irresponsible candidacy of the extreme left that cost us votes… The NFP is nevertheless a hope, with this capacity for unity and work. We’ll be ready for the next meetings.” A meeting like the municipal elections in Agen? The NFP, which came first in “Agen-Même”, can at least take comfort in that regard.
“We ran a great campaign but the march was high, and our constituency is a reflection of what is happening at the national level, according to the deputy, Colette Duynslaeger. The brown wave has become black, the wolves have entered and are on their way to being the majority in the country. We have no choice: we will have to beat them at the ballot box and in the streets. »
Jon Garay, first secretary of the PS, very moved, recalled: “I am a child of Guernica! », before bursting into tears, but he was immediately supported by the activists, singing a revolutionary anti-Franco song.
