“If ever the President of the Republic did me the honour of proposing Matignon to me, I would turn to my political family, because we cannot accept this position without having the momentum to build a path towards the necessary measures in favour of low wages, public services, health, housing and security.”he says.
If Karim Bouamrane assures that the NFP “must take leadership” and that the proposals of the left “must be a priority”the mayor believes that “the future government must be representative of the weight of each of the republican formations”. “Let’s sit around the table to find a global compromise that will allow the left to avoid institutional instability”he defends, believing that “Compromise is the only way to save France”.
