France: ‘Progressive alliance’ under Melanson’s parliamentary

The birth was difficult during last night’s Socialist Council: Screams were raised, doors were knocked, old executives could not stand it, the party card was torn, but in the end the “People’s Ecological and Social Union” was “approved” with the approval of 62%. of the Council.

Socialists, environmentalists, communists and the disobedient, united under the leadership of Jean-Luc Melanson, in the June parliamentary elections, to put a stop to hope for “Macron’s unlimited powers”.

In the negotiations, leader Olivier For was able to secure 70 constituencies for the Socialist candidates. In all 577 constituencies, 70 may not be enough for a ruling party that still has a significant regional presence.

Historical success of the Left

But with the humiliating 1.7% they brought to the presidency, what more could they claim? This is how they talk today about the “historic success of the left”, the fact that it achieved the union that it failed for the presidential ones, despite the ardent desire of the left-wing voters.

But since Hollande the insurgency is in the DNA of the Socialists and today we had the first samples from Occitania in southern France. They announced that they will nominate candidates in the constituencies they want in addition to the 70 provided by the party. The party’s general secretary Olivier For threatened to remove him immediately.
