“A page in the History of France”
“We have succeeded. A page in the History of France is being written with this Popular Front,” wrote Olivier Faure, the first secretary of the Socialist Party.
In a message, Jean-Luc Mélenchon welcomed “a considerable political event in France”.
This agreement was reached in four days after some blockages, mainly on the distribution of constituencies, where the candidates of one party or the other will be presented, without opposition within this group. The various left-wing parties had to come to an agreement quickly, with only three days remaining before the end of the submission of applications for the first round, set for June 30.
