In 15 days, the challenge is to know whether our country can fall into what it has not experienced since 1940: an extreme right-wing government,” added Clémentine Autain. “Now, it’s either hatred, withdrawal, chaos, with a social promise that will never be kept and us, our project, which means that from July, we will be able to improve the daily lives of the French.”

“THE THREAT IS THE EXTREME RIGHT”

Olivier Faure, in an interview with Le Monde, returned to the non-investiture of five candidates by France Insoumise, judging that the situation “is detrimental” to the New Popular Front “by creating doubt about the idea of ​​the NFP being able to camouflage settling scores within a political formation”.

“We are not depriving ourselves of talents because they are not exactly in line,” he added, believing that “faced with the danger of the extreme right, no progressive should be choosy” . Referring to the candidacy of François Hollande, the boss of the PS explained that this meant “something simple: the entire left will always find itself in the fight against the extreme right”.

Olivier Faure also responded to criticism from Emmanuel Macron, who judged that the NFP was an “unnatural” team while the economic program of this new alliance was also judged harshly. “I note that for seven years, the power in place has spent more time hitting the radical left, which won 9.9% in the European elections, than fighting the extreme right, at 40%,” said -he recalled, emphasizing: “The threat is the extreme right.”

LET’S GO !

After a week of twists and turns and confusion to urgently establish alliances and nominate candidates, the lightning campaign for the first round of the legislative elections on June 30 officially begins this Monday under high tension.

Since 6 p.m. Sunday, all candidates for one of the 577 deputy seats have been registered at the prefecture. Now time for field meetings, sending electoral propaganda and television spots.

The die is cast.

The official campaign starts this Monday, June 17 and will end on the evening of Friday, June 28.

A week after the earthquake of dissolution, everything is now sealed after several days of great confusion, notably marked by the rallying of the leader of the Republicans Eric Ciotti to the National Rally. If the highly contested boss was not followed by the executives of his party – with the exception of a deputy and the president of the Young Republicans movement – he indicated that he had 62 candidates “of the gathering of the rights” supported by the RN.

The anti-Ciotti LR branch, which is trying to maintain its voice, has for its part invested “nearly 400 candidates”including Virgile Vanier in the Alpes-Maritimes against Eric Ciotti.

On the left, the New Popular Front managed to agree in a few days on a program and candidates, despite disagreements over certain candidates chosen by La France insoumise and the refusal to invest several historical figures critical of the party line. Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

The day after the surprise candidacy of former President François Hollande in Corrèze under the banner of the New Popular Front, former Prime Minister Lionel Jospin (1997 to 2002) also defended the new union, alone “dyke”according to him, capable of containing the far-right party.
