Nothing is going well at the New Popular Front (NFP). LFI leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon indeed accused the Socialist Party on Sunday of being “in the process of organizing a new common base” in place of the current alliance, accusing it of “reaching out a hand” beyond from the left.
“The PS is looking for allies. But it will be without LFI”: Jean-Luc Mélenchon reacted acidly on
Vallaud ready “to compromise text by text”
Guest of Political Questions (France Inter/Le Monde/FranceTV), Boris Vallaud notably said he wanted to propose to all parties, with the exception of the RN “to ask the question of the conditions for non-censorship”, if the government Barnier was to be overthrown. The Landes MP would like to “pick up the thread” of what “the groups of the New Popular Front” in the Assembly and the Senate had “started to do in mid-August”, “by saying: we are ready to compromise text by text, we are ready to discuss budget policy priorities.
Enough to make the leader of the Insoumis say that the PS is “looking for a national union, to transform the NFP into a “new common base” with others”.
Mélenchon accused of sowing “chaos”
As for Karim Bouamrane, guest on Radio J, Jean-Luc Mélenchon castigated his wish to see “a technical government” installed if the government of Michel Barnier fell. In the event of censorship, it would be “technical government, peace of the brave, let everyone take back their marbles. And we are preparing for the next elections […] the next dissolution,” repeated Karim Bouamrane. The latter in passing “invited a part” of the rebels, ecologists, socialists and even left-wing voters “to break away from Mélenchon” whom he accuses of being only in “incantation” and of sowing “chaos” .

” Alert. The PS is in the process of organizing a new common base with others in place of the New Popular Front. Vallaud, Faure, Bouamrane reach out to them. Who will prevent this change of line at the PS,” Jean-Luc Mélenchon asked in return. The alliance therefore seems more and more difficult to maintain.
