In particular, they affirm that they want to build “a framework for reflection and joint actions, in order to win the cultural battle against the right and the extreme right”.
Lucie Castets and Marine Tondelier urge the left to come together for the next presidential election. They are also launching a website, gagnons-ensemble.fr, on which the senior civil servant and former candidate of the New Popular Front (NFP) in Matignon and the national secretary of the Ecologists are calling for a joint candidacy. An appeal published in preview this Sunday, December 1 by Ouest-France.
“Every quarrel within our own camp is an offering to our adversaries. Let us not give them this gift,” they write. Continuing: “It is now that everything is at stake. From now on, we must organize ourselves and build a common project for the entire left, the forces of progress and ecologists […] We place a single prerequisite for this collective adventure: to want a common candidacy for the next presidential election, without placing this or that name as a prerequisite for collective work.”
They specify in particular that they want to build “a framework for reflection and common actions, in order to win the cultural battle against the right and the extreme right”.
Two days earlier, Jean-Luc Mélenchon called for “a joint candidacy” from the left on the basis of the LFI program, in the case of an early presidential election that he hopes for. Against a backdrop of deep dissensions, however, within the New Popular Front, particularly with the Communist Party.
