LFI WILL NOT “OPPOSE” THE SPECIAL BUDGET LAW
In order to allow the State to temporarily finance itself despite the absence of a budget, parliament must soon vote on a “special law”. Guest of Hello! On the TF1 morning show, LFI deputy Éric Coquerel promises that his camp “will not oppose it. It is a technical law which allows us not to turn off the lights and no one has an interest in turning off the lights” assured the elected from Seine-Saint-Denis.
“MACRON WILL NOT APPOINT A LEFT-WING PRIME MINISTER”
The LFI deputy for Seine-Saint-Denis Eric Coquerel said in Bonjour! La Matinale TF1 that the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron does not intend to appoint a left-wing Prime Minister.
“He does not want to appoint an NFP government and he will not appoint a left-wing Prime Minister, whoever he may be. Why? Because his objective since his policy was defeated is to perpetuate and maintain it. We must make sure this stops.”
“THE NFP MUST PUT PRESSURE ON MACRON”
Guest of Hello! La Matinale TF1, Éric Coquerel defended the vision of La France Insoumise on the strategy that the New Popular Front coalition should follow before Emmanuel Macron’s appointment of a new Prime Minister.
“What the NFP should do is put pressure on him to tell him that there is only one solution: respect article 8 of the Constitution, which says that he must appoint a Prime Minister from the coalition came first in the Legislative Elections”, he said, asking “the NFP parties to get out of this mess”.

D-DAY FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF A NEW PRIME MINISTER?
Hello everyone, we are going to follow the political news of December 11 together. A day which could be marked by the appointment of a new Prime Minister, the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron having suggested yesterday that it would take place “within 48 hours”.
Emmanuel Macron announced Tuesday to the heads of political parties gathered at the Elysée that he wanted to appoint “within 48 hours” a new Prime Minister who will then be responsible for negotiating at least an agreement to avoid censorship, achieving some timid progress.
The Head of State debated for more than two and a half hours, in the winter garden, with all the groups except the National Rally and La France insoumise. During this unprecedented collegial meeting since the start of the political crisis triggered by the dissolution of the National Assembly, he underlined “his will not to dissolve” again by the end of his term in 2027, according to his entourage.
He also noted “a unanimity of political forces to no longer depend on the National Rally”while only the center and the right said the same for LFI.
If he could see the lack of appetite for a “government of national unity”the president hopes to have found a form of consensus towards a non-censorship agreement which would allow the future government to survive longer than that, short-lived, of Michel Barnier.
“Things have progressed quite well” on a “exchange of good practices”declared the head of the Socialist Party Olivier Faure at the exit. According to him, the idea would be that “the government renounces 49.3”constitutional tool to pass in force in the National Assembly, “in exchange for which the oppositions would renounce a motion of censure”like the one that brought down the executive last week for the first time since 1962.
Enough to make François Bayrou, the president of MoDem, one of Matignon’s favorites, say that the meeting had been “positive in an unexpected way”. The mayor of Pau mentioned “a democratic cooperation agreement” and proposed to delay the “angry questions”such as pensions and immigration.
