Not invited to the Élysée this Tuesday, unlike their allies in the New Popular Front, La France insoumise points out the inconsistencies of the socialists, communists and ecologists.
This Tuesday, December 10, the Socialist Party, the Ecologists and the Communists will once again go to the Élysée. “The objective is to move forward on an agreement concerning a method,” BFMTV learned from Emmanuel Macron’s entourage.
The National Rally and La France insoumise were not invited to these new meetings, with a view to finding a successor to Michel Barnier, censored by the National Assembly this Wednesday. Several representatives of La France insoumise criticized the behavior of socialists, ecologists and communists who accepted Emmanuel Macron’s invitation.
A real split in the NFP?
On X, Manuel Bompard, the coordinator of La France insoumise, pointed out the inconsistencies of his New Popular Front allies.
“A government of general interest from Olivier Faure to Bruno Retailleau? How can we be elected to defend the program of the New Popular Front and consider participating in such a team? Have you fallen on your head?” he questioned.
Another personality from La France insoumise to have rebelled against the meetings between the Élysées and these left-wing forces, Éric Coquerel. On BFMTV, the LFI MP declared “that we were not elected to negotiate a government program with people who were organizing an obstruction to not vote for pension reform.”
Guests of BFMTV, deputies André Chassaigne (PCF) and Éric Coquerel shared their disagreement on the posture that the left must have with Emmanuel Macron during a lively exchange. The president invited left-wing political groups tomorrow to the Élysée, with the exception of LFI which had refused the first invitation.
“We were not elected to negotiate a government program with people who were organizing an obstruction not to vote for the pension reform,” declared the LFI deputy on our antenna.
A statement to which André Chassaigne, communist deputy, responded. “A left-wing party must have a discourse of responsibility, I am not one of those who have only one obsession, which is that there will be chaos because they are in the starting blocks for the presidential election (. ..) Insoumise France believes that there is no debate possible, that we turn in on ourselves, that we cling only to the NFP program and nothing else,” a- he replied.
“Why are you taking up the arguments of the right and Macronism? (…) Chaos is their policy (…) the voters did not ask you to negotiate this or that aspect with Macron.” , replies Éric Coquerel.
“You will quickly leave the meeting tomorrow, so much the better”
On X, the National Secretary of Environmentalists Marine Tondelier wanted to make things clear. She affirmed that she remained “loyal to the New Popular Front” and that her party “will not participate in a ‘general interest’ government with LR or Macronists or who knows who.”
“You reassure me a little. In that case you will quickly leave the meeting tomorrow. So much the better,” Éric Coquerel simply retorted on X.
La France insoumise had declined Emmanuel Macron’s invitation this Friday, December 6, Manuel Bompard considering that “no discussion other than the appointment of a government of the New Popular Front could take place with the head of state”.
