towards a historic agreement between the major left-wing parties?

New episode of the legislative series on the left, Monday May 2. At 3:30 p.m., the boss of the Socialist Party (PS), Olivier Faure, presented himself at the headquarters of La France insoumise (LFI) to continue negotiations. “Be patient. We are not looking to simply produce an agreement in resistance to what the government is doing, we are looking to have an agreement that allows us to win a majority”, did he declare. The agreement aims to unite the four main left-wing parties for future elections. The ecologists and LFI reached an agreement during the night of Sunday May 1 to Monday May 2, after hours of negotiations.

A deal “historical”, underlined Manuel Bompard, campaign director of La France insoumise for the legislative elections. The New Popular Ecological and Social Union thus guarantees 100 constituencies for Europe Écologie-Les Verts (EELV), 30 of which are winnable. On the program side, the two formations have agreed on the minimum wage at 1,400 euros net, retirement at 60, the freezing of the prices of certain products, ecological planning and the principle of disobedience to certain European rules. Next step at 10 p.m.: the Communists are expected at the headquarters of La France insoumise.
