the battle for Matignon on the left

The big question now is: who will walk through the doors of Matignon? After coming out on top in the legislative elections, the New Popular Front, which says it is ready to govern, is starting negotiations within its ranks, particularly to appoint a Prime Minister on Monday, July 8. The NFP aims to give a name within the week. But there is still a long way to go. The first step in the process: agreeing on a method for choosing a representative. This is where the first difficulties appear. After the method will come the question of incarnation. On this subject, Jean-Luc Mélenchon continues to crystallize the discussions.

So who? Marine Tondelier is regularly cited, as is Clémentine Autain, who announced that she would no longer sit in the LFI group in the National Assembly. The same goes for François Ruffin, another potential candidate for Matignon. Emmanuel Macron asked Gabriel Attal to stay in office for the duration of“ensure the stability of the country.”
