“It was important for the New Popular Front to speak to French women and men so that everyone is fully aware of what is happening.”explains Léon Deffontaines, the spokesperson for the Communist Party, on Thursday, August 22 on franceinfo. On the eve of their meeting at the Élysée with Emmanuel Macron, the leaders of the New Popular Front, and their candidate for the post of Prime Minister, Lucie Castets, wrote an open letter to denounce “the inaction of the President of the Republic” who is “serious and harmful”.
Léon Deffontaines recalls that the legislative elections were “the Olympic Games are being followed very closely and we don’t realise what’s going on”. “How come we don’t have a government even though we’re coming up against a very busy start to the new school year, with the finance bill?”he asks. He also mentions concerns about the situation in hospitals and the lack of teachers.
“It is urgent that Emmanuel Macron respects the institutions and appoints Lucie Castets to Matignon to finally allow us to move forward and improve the daily lives of the French”he continues. He deplores “silence and wait-and-see” of the head of state, “since the elections”Who “block the country”.
