The movement mainly targets “around twenty municipalities” in the department, including Montereau-Fault-Yonne, Chelles, Nemours, Meaux or even the prefecture of Seine-et-Marne, Melunall in the hands of the right and its allies. “These are places where we achieved very good scores in the last ballots, lists Julie Garnier.

Other municipalities, such as Pontault-Combault, Moissy-Cramayel or even Vaux-le-Pénilare in the sights of the Insoumis.

The values ​​of the New Popular Front

For these elections, LFI affirms that it “will continue to support the program of the New Popular Front (NFP)came in first position” in the legislative elections last July. “Our goal is not to design lists bringing together only LFI supporters.
