Emmanuel Macron, who brings together political parties outside the LFI and RN on Tuesday in the hope of moving towards the formation of a government, must then step back, argued the socialists and ecologists before the meeting at the Élysée. “We hope that this debate cannot continue under his auspices for a simple reason, which is that he is no longer in a position today to be the arbiter of elegance”said PS boss Olivier Faure to the press upon arriving at the presidential palace, where he again requested the appointment of “a left-wing prime minister. «The continuation of the discussions, if there is any continuation, should rather take place in the National Assembly», also affirmed the leader of the Greens Marine Tondelier, ensuring that she would come to the Élysée “without false naivety» in the face of the president’s intentions.

More “it is not to [Emmanuel Macron] to say how Parliament, in particular, must behave and what type of majority we must lead», insisted Olivier Faure. “From semantic shifts to semantic shifts, he seeks to create a funnel into which he seeks to make us engulf ourselves.“, he added. “The first achievement of the discussions we have had so far is to have removed the extreme right from this meeting and to have enabled, in a certain way, those who aspire to lead, to no longer do it under pressure from the far right», noted the first secretary of the PS. As for the identity of the future prime minister: “There is a logic: he tried the right, now he must try the left“, he said.

In his wake, Marine Tondelier assured that she had come “to listen to what concessions the President of the Republic and his political camp were ready to make to us». «We do not understand how we could come out of these discussions by announcing to the French, to our voters in particular, that everything is going to change so that nothing changes, that there will still be a prime minister from the presidential camp. she detailed, ensuring that she had “established eleven priorities» on the bottom.
