Discussions between the different left-wing parties united within the Popular Front with a view to the early legislative elections “are progressing well and above all they are progressing quickly”assured Thursday June 13 on franceinfo Sandra Regol, outgoing Ecologists-EELV deputy for Bas-Rhin, candidate for re-election.
“In four days, our parties found an agreement and avenues for work”, specifies Sandra Regol. She recalls that in these discussions, “We do the main work relatively quickly, and then the small details, the two or three final flourishes, take a little more time”.
Sandra Regol puts into perspective the disagreements between the parties, which required a suspension of discussions at midday on Thursday. She emphasizes that “people talk a lot on the sidelines of a negotiation to try to raise the stakes a little on one side or the other”. But she intends to point “reality” meetings. “They’ve been working for four days, moving forward. There are times when it’s a little more cheerful than others, a little less tense or a little more tense”. The ecologist notes that now, “it’s much more relaxed”. According to her, there is “just a disagreement on how we delimit low water levels”. Moments of tension make “part of a negotiation”.
“Our parties are used to campaigning against each other. There, we do the impossible, that is to say we move forward together.”

HASAfter the declaration of Jean-Luc Mélenchon on Wednesday, who said he was “able” to be Prime Minister, Sandra Revol underlines that the leader of the Insoumis does not “phagocyte not” debate. “You will have noticed that he did not particularly put himself forward during this period”, recalls the ecologist. On 8 p.m. on France 2, Jean-Luc Mélenchon said that, “of course he was capable, but he didn’t think it was urgent now”. “It doesn’t seem to me that this has particularly imposed itself on or swallowed up the debate.” Sandra Revol adds that within the Popular Front, there is “the embarrassment of choice to have a person who is capable of carrying out our project”.
