There are many dissidences in the new left-wing alliance for the legislative elections. The very controversial rebellious Taha Bouhafs has announced that he will withdraw to Vénissieux, and the Communists are now claiming the constituency. The socialist president of Occitania, Carole Delga, supports her own candidates outside of Nupes.
There is unity, and there are dissidences which reveal a war of influence between the parties of the left. In Vénissieux, communist land in the Rhône, in the Nupes agreement, the Insoumis have reserved the 14th constituency of the Rhône for the legislative elections. Logically, the PCF therefore wants to recover it. And by presenting Taha Bouhafs, a sulphurous activist who finally decided to withdraw his candidacy, LFI offered on a set an angle of attack to Fabien Roussel, national secretary of the Communist Party, to mark his difference with the formation of Jean-Luc Mélenchon. .
In Occitania, out of the question for the socialist Carole Delga to accept the union. Again, a question of constituencies. She only got six of the 49 in her region, but it is on the political line that she fires red balls at rebellious France. Carole Delga claims to be from the left of government, far from what the Insoumis represents in her eyes.
France rebellious in the face of possible local renegotiations
Opposite, LFI must hold on, force the signatory parties to respect the agreement at all costs, and not accept any concessions. Otherwise, it opens Pandora’s box of local renegotiations, synonymous with the end of the New People’s Ecological and Social Union.
There is the facade, an agreement that unites the left, it had not happened for 25 years, but behind, the fractures remain deep between the parties, and they do not hesitate to exploit them to try to keep their territories. And even the united left blows on the embers of division.
