France: The Left is rallying ahead of the June parliamentary elections


One week after Macron won the French presidential election, Jean-Luc Melanson’s Left is claiming the role of regulator in the run-up to the June parliamentary elections.

One week after the result of the election for the French presidency, the question of the day is whether the leftists will manage to come down united in the parliamentary elections of June (June 12 and 19).

The leader of the “Rebels”, Jean-Luc Melanson, wants this union, hoping that it will be achieved under his own roof, of course, a right that gives him the 22.5% he won for the presidency.

In a statement today to the special edition of the Sunday newspaper (JDD), he called for “a solution for tomorrow” so that all leftists could come down united for May Day. “Do not leave all power to Macron”, is his motto.

Will Melanson convince ecologists, socialists, communists?

Negotiations, however, are not easy, they are stuck. Environmentalists are protesting against the small number of constituencies that Melanson’s staff has at their disposal. The Communists, with their presidential candidate Fabien Russell, do not agree with Melanson’s private negotiations. They want the talks to take place with all the left parties at the same time.

The socialists are the big thorn in the side, as they themselves are internally divided. At first a “convergence on the substance” was recognized, which surprised everyone. With the beginning of the discussions, however, the differences and divisions became apparent. Some even ask for an internal vote of the fans before any agreement. Yesterday there was a suspension of discussions without being considered as an interruption. The general secretary of the socialist party, Olivier For, called on those who believe that “nothing can be done” to leave.
