“Incredible all these people supposedly steeped in principle, ready to abandon all conviction (…) for a handful of constituencies. And they want to govern our country?”, launched on Twitter the deputy LREM Sacha Houlié. “What awaits the parties, in particular the Socialist Party, if they accept this alliance, is quite simply a disappearance of their ideas, and also a disappearance of their political party”predicted on RFI Aurore Bergé, deputy president of the LREM group at the National Assembly.
“When I see what is supposedly a union of the left, I also see elected officials, regional presidents, mayors, refusing this submission to LFI, abandoning their political history, their values, to try to save perhaps -be a handful of seats”she added, in reference to the internal tensions in the PS.
Fabienne Keller, LREM MEP and vice-president of Agir, estimated for her part that‘”Europe Ecology-The Greens now have Europe in name only”. “For some legislative constituencies, the party denies its historic European commitment and allies itself with a Europhobic populist”she denounced on Twitter.
Eric Woerth, ex-LR passed in the Macron camp, pointed the finger at Cnews “political agreements” and the fact that there is “ideologically no coherence” between the parties of the left wishing to ally themselves. On the far right, Nicolas Bay, vice-president of Reconquête!, admitted that this alliance on the left underlines “the need for a gathering also of right-wing and patriotic forces” for legislative purposes.
