As the Bernard Cazeneuve hypothesis at Matignon gains more and more momentum, the coordinator of La France insoumise, guest of BFM Politique, assures that the president’s interest is to divide the NFP.
Divide and conquer? For Manuel Bompard, national coordinator of La France insoumise, this is Emmanuel Macron’s strategy towards the New Popular Front, considering Bernard Cazeneuve at Matignon.
“The only interest for Emmanuel Macron in working on this Bernard Cazeneuve track” is to try to divide the left, assured the rebel, guest of BFM Politique this Sunday, September 1.
While this Bernard Cazeneuve hypothesis seems to be strengthening, with Emmanuel Macron receiving the former Prime Minister of François Hollande this Monday, September 2 at the Élysée, Manuel Bompard judged that “the president’s only obsession is to try to fracture the NFP in order to be able to retain power even though he lost the elections”, also estimating that Bernard Cazeneuve is “without doubt a tool in this attempt at fracturing”.
“A problem of gait”
Moreover, according to Manuel Bompard, Cazeneuve cannot “be considered a left-wing Prime Minister since he does not have the support of the four political components of the left in the National Assembly.”
“Bernard Cazeneuve, former Prime Minister of François Hollande, who left the PS at the time when Nupes and then the NFP were formed, is not the person who will allow ideas from the NFP programme to be implemented,” he insisted, “it is not a problem of the individual but of the approach.”
And to recall the NFP line: “if the President of the Republic finally wants to respect the results of the elections, he appoints Lucie Castets. If he appoints Bernard Cazeneuve, it is because he wants to do something else.”
