French left wing negotiations for legislative elections progress

Paris, May 3 (Prensa Latina) La France Insumise (LFI) continues discussions aimed at reaching agreements considered historic with the Socialist (PS) and Communist (PCF) parties for the legislative elections, after reaching an agreement with environmentalists on Sunday.

The agreement with the communists seems close and could be finalized during the day, according to media outlets such as the Le Figaro newspaper and the Franceinfo network, an opinion supported by the comment posted on Twitter by the PCF negotiator Igor Zamichiei, who specified that the national executive of the organization approved the project.

The talks with the Socialists look more complex, although not impossible to reconcile on the discordant points, which are “some” in the face of the legislative elections scheduled for June 12th and 19th.

The MEP for the LFI Emmanuel Bompard commented to the TF1 channel that difficult aspects remain in terms of program and constituencies. “We are working to move forward, but I don’t want to create false expectations,” he said when asked if the deal will come this Tuesday.

LFI reached an agreement with the environmentalists with a view to prevent the re-elected president of France, Emmanuel Macron, from continuing with “his unjust and brutal policies” and also defeat the extreme right.

The unity of the left seeks to obtain the greatest possible number of seats in the legislative elections, with the maximum aspiration of reaching a majority in the National Assembly, which would frustrate Macron’s goal of governing another five years in control of the Bourbon Palace, which has the last word in parliamentary matters in France.
