07:09 : At the time when I am writing to you this morning, I have no information on a reception of a person in charge of La France insoumise at the Elysée. Our colleagues from AFP report that Jean-Luc Mélenchon “has not replied yet” at the invitation of the President. Its number 2, Adrien Quatennens, has in any case not ruled out the idea, however wondering about LCI: “to do what ?”
07:06 : No reception by Macron of an LFI member?
07:06 : And Melenchon, he does not receive it?
06:45 : Others, like the leader of the EELV party, Julien Bayou, will be received tomorrow.
06:45 : Let’s take a quick look at the schedule, which will consult the representatives of the main political forces in the Assembly at the Elysée to try to avoid a paralysis of his government. Six of them will be received in succession today: Christian Jacob (LR) opens the march at 10 a.m., before Olivier Faure (PS) at 11 a.m. François Bayrou (MoDem) will follow at 2 p.m., before Stanislas Guerini (LREM) at 3 p.m., Marine Le Pen (RN) at 5.30 p.m. and Fabien Roussel (PCF) at 6.30 p.m.
06:38 : Last week, it was the Republican barrage on a case-by-case basis. This week, it’s the alliance with the RN on a case-by-case basis. Next week is Marine Le Pen at Matignon? https://t.co/jf24swBaEf
06:38 : The masks fall. The dikes are breaking. The dams are collapsing. The feverishness of LREM pushes them into the arms of the far right. You can count on the solidity of the communist group in the Assembly. We will hold the line, faithful to our history. https://t.co/HjEUtHK0Ni
06:38 : When the compass points to the extreme right, the shipwreck is only a few meters away… https://t.co/jbJUU0eCkZ
06:38 : “When we need to have a majority and if it’s good for the French, we’ll get those votes”. Guest of “C ce soir” on France 5 yesterday, LREM MP Céline Calvez judged that his group, deprived of an absolute majority in the Assembly, could rely on the votes of the RN to have certain texts voted on. Words that made people jump on the left: Fabien Roussel, Ian Brossat and Olivier Faure notably denounced a “shipwreck”.
06:11 : We start without further delay with the first point on the news of the day:
• How to govern without an absolute majority? Emmanuel Macron will try to answer this question today by welcoming the main political forces of the National Assembly from 10 a.m. to the Elysée.
• PSG have set their sights on a Marseillais, but it’s not Zidane. An agreement has been reached between OGC Nice and PSG for the arrival of coach Christophe Galtier in the Parisian club, learned franceinfo. Everything is not yet tied up, because Mauricio Pochettino is still under contract at PSG.
• An orange “storms” and “heat wave” vigilance is still in progress this morning in 12 departments of the Center-East. Several departments in the south-west of France were hit yesterday by violent storms marked by heavy hailstorms.
• Ukraine yesterday accused Russia of further intensifying its deadly bombardments in the East. According to Moscow, kyiv would have hit in return drilling platforms in the Black Sea off Crimea, annexed in 2014.
