However, given the impasse in negotiations within the left-wing coalition for Matignon, some like François Ruffin or the communist group want a vote by the NFP deputies, a proposal supported on Thursday July 18 by the head of the PS Olivier Faure.When we can’t make progress, there is a fairly simple way in democracy to decide between candidates: it’s voting.“, declared Olivier Faure on BFMTV. A proposal swept aside by Clémence Guettée, arguing that if a name were to collect 51% of the votes, it would be “a weak application“, Who “would immediately put the person in a position to be disowned“. “La France Insoumise, contrary to the caricatures that can be made of it, is always on the side of the solution and not the problem.“, added the coordinator of Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s program for the 2022 presidential election.

“You may find it too long, but in other European countries it takes much longer.”

The Val-de-Marne MP returned to the socialists’ refusal of the candidacy of the President of Réunion, Huguette Bello.Names have emerged and I am thinking in particular of the candidacy of Huguette Bello, of whom I reiterate the esteem I have for her and the fact that we are certain that she is capable of implementing this program of rupture.“, declared Clémence Guetté who denounced a “blockage” of the Socialist Party. As for LFI’s opposition to the PS’s proposal to choose Laurence Tubiana for Matignon, it is the fruit of a “dpolitical disagreement” and no “staff“, she assured.”I have absolutely nothing against Mrs Tubiana but (…) last week, she wrote a column saying that the starting point would be the NFP programme, that the end point would be different and that there were compromises to be found“, she reproached the climate specialist.People in my riding do not want to accommodate a project that is antagonistic to ours.“, defended the elected representative of Val-de-Marne.”The four political forces are homogeneous on this, we have a program and we are going to present it to the National Assembly.” she assured.
