The deputies of the New People’s Ecological and Social Union (Nupes) will meet in Val-de-Marne on September 18 to prepare for the return to parliament and show their unity, after the recent dissensions within the alliance.
Julien Bayou (EELV), Benjamin Lucas (Génération-s), Jérôme Guedj (PS), Elsa Faucillon (PCF) and Danielle Simonnet (LFI) have been appointed by their respective party leaders to organize this day, announced Julien Bayou this Thursday, confirming information from franceinfo.
According to its organizers, the purpose of this seminar will be to work and reflect together on the various bills that await parliamentarians at the start of the school year. The seminar which will mark the reunion of the Nupes deputies since the parliamentary holidays will take the form of various workshops around ecology, democracy and legislative tools. A few weeks before, the different parties will organize their different summer universities all at the same time.
The alliance in crisis
This back-to-school seminar will above all be an opportunity to affirm the unity of the movement in the midst of a crisis. Ecologists and communists have indeed chosen to present their own lists in the European elections to be held in June 2024. This choice had been publicly criticized by France Insoumise. No agreement has been found for the senatorial elections either, which will be held on 24 September.
But the deputy of the fifth district of Paris Julien Bayou refuses the idea of an attempt to save Nupes. “It’s pretty classic,” he says. We organize this meeting time as we were able to organize others during the first year of the legislature”.
This seminar will be held in the city of Ivry-sur-Seine, highly symbolic for the alliance. The city has a communist mayor, Philippe Bouyssou, an insubordinate deputy, Mathilde Panot, and is home to the headquarters of the Socialist Party.
