One more refusal. After the Socialist Party, it is the turn of La France insoumise (LFI) to decline the invitation to the new meeting of party leaders in Saint-Denis, according to a press release from the left-wing party published Tuesday, November 7. This meeting, requested by Emmanuel Macron, must take place on November 17. It should in particular make it possible to discuss the broadening of the scope of referendums on “so-called societal questions, migratory questions which relate to sovereign, economic, social or even diplomatic subjects”.

“We reject the multiplication of these monarchical exercises aimed at circumventing the debate organized in its constitutional forms. This is why we will not participate in this new communication exercise. We will continue to bring our proposals to Parliament”writes the party, which notably criticizes the Head of State for not taking into account the proposals made by LFI during previous meetings in Saint-Denis, last August.
