The votes of the New Popular Front, which came first in the early legislative elections in July, were divided on Thursday, against the backdrop of negotiations with the Prime Minister, François Bayrou, whom Mr. Mélenchon describes this Sunday as “a skillful and extremely resolute man, who conducts his policy like a warrior (…). With the aim of dividing his adversaries ».
