Has the Socialist Party just planted the last nail in the coffin of a common list from the left to the Europeans? After the ecologists and the communists who announced their desire to lead an autonomous list, the socialists act that in the face of the current situation, they will also go on their side. What stop the ambitions of Ségolène Royal.
It was the star of the summer days. Welcomed by dozens of activists and cameras wherever she went, no one now wants Ségolène Royal. The rebels in turn dissociate themselves from the initiative launched by the former presidential candidate.
In a press release, the formation of Jean-Luc Mélenchon always offers environmentalists to take the lead on a common list. But if the union is impossible, “Manon Aubry will fight for the rebellious”, so exit the Ségolène Royal hypothesis.
“It was necessary, useful, even urgent”
Manon Aubry then gently reframes Ségolène Royal, who wanted to take her place. “There was never any question of Ségolène Royal being head of the list of La France insoumise. She simply took a position in favor of a common list of Nupes, saying that it was necessary, useful, even urgent. She offered herself, well, it’s her proposal only, not ours, but we thank her,” she explains.
But the former presidential candidate may not have said her last word. Ségolène Royal would always consider presenting her list of union of the left to the Europeans, against and against all those who closed the door to her.
