(France 2)
A second round of talks between Emmanuel Macron and certain political parties took place on Tuesday, August 27. The RN and its allies are excluded and the NFP is boycotting.
This is an unprecedented political impasse that the president himself provoked by dissolving the Assembly and for which he has been seeking a solution ever since. On his right as on his left, Emmanuel Macron is consulting at every turn to build a new majority and find a Prime Minister. Now that the Head of State has dismissed the candidate of the New Popular Front, Lucie Castets, negotiations resumed on Tuesday, August 27. Because to unblock the situation, this is what Emmanuel Macron is aiming for: a coalition in the Assembly, without La France Insoumise, nor the National Rally and its allies, but with all the others, i.e. a large majority of 355 deputies.
Convincing the communists, socialists and environmentalists to break with the rebels, these are the objectives displayed by the president’s allies. The problem for the Elysée is that at this stage, the New Popular Front remains united. The head of the environmentalists denounced on the morning of August 27 a theft of the legislative elections, even if in the Socialist Party, not everyone shares the official line.
