“As we speak, no”, Nupes is not capable of uniting the nation, deplores LFI deputy Eric Coquerel

“As we speak, no”, Nupes is not capable of uniting the nation, deplores Thursday December 28 on franceinfo the LFI deputy Eric Coquerel. The elected official from Seine-Saint-Denis cites as an example “Fabien Roussel, who says ‘Nupes, it’s over'”but also “the PS”who voted “a moratorium” on his participation in the work of Nupes last October.

According to him, the best way to block the extreme right in particular is “that we find a left that comes together”. But, for this, it must come together on what gave it its strength in 2022, that is to say “a disruptive program which was the program of Nupes”, insists Eric Coquerel. However, this should not be done on “the lowest common denominator which would just be the refusal of the extreme right, but which would ultimately be the fact of accommodating the system”he warns. “We know that, it gave us Hollande, Macron, it doesn’t work”.

Eric Coquerel recalls that LFI made a “proposal to meet” with the left. “Afterwards, if all this works, it will be time to ask the question of the best candidate”who remains, according to him, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, “most likely to win”.
