“We will not block any names” for the post of Prime Minister, “as soon as it comes to implementing the program of the New Popular Front”assured Monday July 15 on franceinfo the communist senator of Paris, Ian Brossat, spokesperson for the PCF, while the blockage persists on the left, within the New Popular Front, around the name to propose for Matignon.
“We communists have said from the beginning that we wanted to be facilitators”recalls Ian Brossat. The senator believes that the discussions “are too long, painful and not very dignified for the millions of voters who voted for the New Popular Front and who allowed us to form the largest bloc in the National Assembly”.
“It is time that we come up with a name, a proposal and that we are worthy of the voters of the New Popular Front. For the moment, I don’t think we are.”

“What matters is the program we want to implement”insists Ian Brossat. “There are several names in circulation. We will not block any of them and it is not a question for us of starting to exercise this or that veto.”assures the spokesperson of the PCF, “neither on Olivier Faure, nor on Manuel Bompard, for example. If everyone had the same position as us within the New Popular Front, we would have arrived at a proposal a long time ago.”
The senator is finally worried about having to “leave it to the President of the Republic who benefits from it”according to him, “to maneuver and to construct alternative scenarios that will not be good for millions of people who want things to change”. And he warns: “That would be the last straw.” that after the legislative elections “where Macronie was condemned by the ballot box, we find ourselves with a government of Macronists. If we continue like this, that’s what will happen to us“, deplores Ian Brossat.
