Just after the inauguration of Emmanuel Macron, the “Nupes”, the left-wing coalition for the legislative elections, embarked on the campaign for good and celebrated its unity, as Jean-Christophe Galeazzi explains on the franceinfo set.

Who would have thought a few days ago to see the socialist Olivier Faure, the ecologist Julien Bayou, the communist Fabien Roussel applaud Jean-Luc Mélenchon?“, wonders the journalist Jean-Christophe Galeazzi. “Who would have thought that LFI, EELV, the PS and the PC, which clashed with sometimes violent words during the presidential election, would find themselves side by side to carry the same project? And yet that is what the New People’s Ecological and Social Union is all about.

It is also for activists and sympathizers on the left the hope of witnessing this union that many thought they would never see in their lifetime, it must be said. A union obtained with forceps, after almost two weeks of negotiations where it was necessary to manage the differences on the merits: nuclear power, Europe, the sixth Republic and also the distribution of the constituencies, of course, in particular those qualified as winnable.
