Rebellious France is determined not to make any concessions

Representatives of the New People’s Front (NFP) entered the National Assembly on Tuesday and were rounded up two days later Most seats in early legislative electionsmaking this left-wing alliance the dominant force in the semicircle.

Despite this victory, difficulties in forming a government continue, in particular agreeing on the name of the future prime minister that the NFP will propose to Emmanuel Macron.

In these negotiations, the majority party of the coalition, “France Insoumise”, will not make any concessions. “The New Popular Front is already a compromise,” assured an LFI executive. This radicalism has been crucial in the discussions since Monday.

“The custom and practice is that I do not believe (the vote) is a matter of agreement between different political groups, I believe it is through ‘consensus’, through agreement between different political components, that this group must be represented,” he said this Tuesday morning. At the microphone of Lawrence Ferrari in La Grande for an interview with 1-CNews Europe.

The new Popular Front will thus form a government simultaneously with the prime minister, without consulting Emmanuel Macron. For the first time in history. What’s more, it seems that “ruthless France” is beginning to bring its partners to heel, such as André Chassaigne, the president of the Communist Party’s deputies. “There is a group that comes first, so it is natural that at least the prime minister comes from this sensitivity,” he declared on Tuesday.

“The rebellion in Matignon is a guarantee of a motion of censure the next morning,” one socialist worried. “Come on, censor us! I can’t wait to see Emmanuel Macron join forces with Marine Le Pen to stop us from repealing the pension reform,” replied an Insoumise executive.
