“They arrive a little late to the battle,” analyses communicator Émilie Zapalski.

Who is Lucie Castets, the senior civil servant proposed by the New Popular Front (NFP) for Matignon, Tuesday July 23? Émilie Zapalski, communicator and founder of the Émilie Conseil agency, specifies that Lucie Castets, who “created the collective Our Public Services”is in fact “very focused on the defense of public services”.

“What is interesting is that there is a name today, because the NPF has been torn apart for a while.”continues Emilie Zapalski. According to her, the idea would have been “to bring out a name now, at this time, just before Emmanuel Macron’s speech this evening”.

“Emmanuel Macron’s principle is to say that no one (…) has a majority, even a sufficient relative majority, to govern. This is a bit inflated, since he himself had a relative majority during the previous legislature.”introduces Émilie Zapalski. “Not sure if it really changes things at the moment”therefore, according to the specialist, for whom it is however “important for the New Popular Front to finally position itself”. Before qualifying: “I have the impression that the timing is a bit disappointing. It would have been based on the momentum of the legislative election results, it would have given them a bit more power. Now, they are arriving a bit late to the game.”
