Before the second round of legislative elections, “There is a debate on BFMTV planned” And “It’s Marine Tondelier [la secrétaire nationale des Écologistes] who was to be opposite Jordan Bardella and Gabriel Attal”, assures Monday 1er July on franceinfo Clémentine Autain. However, “they refuse, that is to say they want to choose with whom they debate”deplores the deputy La France insoumise (LFI), re-elected on Sunday evening.

On Monday afternoon, Gabriel Attal’s entourage and the management of BFMTV denied to franceinfo that the Prime Minister had refused the debate with Marine Tondelier. On the other hand, the private news channel confirmed Jordan Bardella’s refusal, because the Ecologists are the third party of the New Popular Front and are therefore not “representative” in their eyes.

“I think that this is a way of doing things that also says a lot about the relationship with women, because it is the first debate where there would have been a woman around the table and she is ‘refused'”, adds the elected representative of the 11th constituency of Seine-Saint-Denis. Before the first round, Manuel Bompard (LFI) and Olivier Faure (Socialist Party) represented the New Popular Front during two televised debates.

“I also call on BFMTV to be correct in the conditions of the debate. It is not up to Jordan Bardella to choose who is around the table”she also declared. Upon his arrival at the RN headquarters on Monday, the president of the party and aspiring Prime Minister wanted to debate “project against project” with Jean-Luc Mélenchon. The leader of LFI recognized on X the need for a confrontation, but ruled out his own participation.

“We have divided up the debates within the New Popular Front. After Manuel Bompard and Olivier Faure, it is my turn to represent our coalition in the 3rd debate. Should I understand that you do not dare to debate with me?” launched Marine Tondelier to Jordan Bardella on the same social network.
