According to Danièle Obono, if the discussions are “at an impasse”, it is because the Socialist Party refused the candidacy of Huguette Bello “which was a consensus for all the other forces and without any explanation on the substance”.

“We acknowledge the impasse in which the refusal of the Socialist Party has put us, we say, let’s take a break”pleaded Danièle Obono, a member of parliament for La France Insoumise in Paris, on franceinfo on Monday, while negotiations between the different components of the New Popular Front to agree on a name for Matignon have been interrupted.
LFI has indicated that it will not resume discussions around the new government. “as long as the Socialist Party has not given up on his veto on any other candidacy than his own” for the post of Prime Minister. “Perhaps this pause will allow the leaders of the Socialist Party to have to politically justify the refusals that they have systematically made.”hopes Danièle Obono.
“For several weeks, we have been making proposals. We have proposed four rebellious proposals, and not just Jean-Luc Mélenchon”assures the MP. “They were swept aside without any explanation, except that they were Insoumis. We supported Madame Huguette Bello’s proposal. It was refused.”
If the discussions are ““in a dead end”according to Danièle Obono, “because the Socialist Party rejected a candidacy which was the consensus of all the other forces and without any explanation on the substance”She notes that the Socialist Party believes “that it is a return to the era of their ultra-large majority with Hollande”. “He must [le PS] come down a little”asks the Insoumise. She therefore calls for “resume discussions on other bases”.
The LFI MP finally recalls that there is “a deadline”Thursday, with the election of the presidency of the National Assembly. She denounces a “coup de force” from the presidential camp with “Mrs. Braun-Pivet’s attempt to negotiate with the RN to be re-elected” at the perch of the National Assembly. And she denounces “the choice to put LFI, and by extension the NFP, back to back with the National Rally”. “This is what they are trying to doadds Danièle Obono, that is, to trample on the results of the elections and parliamentary representation. And that is what is at stake this week.”
