What future for Nupes after the differences around the Israel-Hamas war? While Jean-Luc Mélenchon estimated in a blog post that he « [était] became clear that the point of no return [était] francs », Mathilde Panot, president of the parliamentary group La France insoumise (LFI), ensures that “Jean-Luc Mélenchon is not saying that there is a point of no return on the fact that we would like to bury the Nupes, that is not true”Tuesday October 24 during a press briefing at the National Assembly.

For the member for Val-de-Marne, the coalition of left-wing parties must « [clarifier] a number of things. On the ceasefire, the end of the siege of Gaza, the condemnation of all war crimes, the two-state solution, what is there to disagree with? »she asked while the left was torn apart following the refusal of Jean-Luc Mélenchon and his inner circle to qualify Hamas as “terrorist”.

The same message is sent by the environmentalist deputies who assured to sign together the next motion of censure of the left, during the next 49.3 of the government. When the previous LFI motion was tabled, in the midst of the Nupes split, 14 out of 23 environmentalist deputies provided their signatures and nine ultimately voted for it.

The “rebels” ask the PS “how the “moratorium” is distinguished from a rupture”

As for the Socialist Party, a “moratorium” on his participation in the Nupes was decided on Tuesday evening October 17 while Mr. Mélenchon, in his blog post, criticized the PS which he considers to be “no longer has a head” and “its Atlanticist alignment has been known for a long time”. In a letter, La France insoumise requests “details” to the Socialist Party on the moratorium voted by the Socialists on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday to suspend its participation in the Nupes intergroup, in reference to the weekly meeting in which deputies from the four left-wing parties participate.

“Could you tell us how the “moratorium” differs from a pure and simple rupture since that is how we understood it, as did the media? »asks the coordinator of the movement Manuel Bompard in this letter revealed by Le Figaro and consulted by Agence France-Presse. In total, the letter brings together 14 questions asked of the socialists, on subjects such as the union of the left or even Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

“You indicate in your resolution that we “need more unity” to help the left win. Does this mean that you are now in favor of a common Nupes list for the next European elections? », asks Mr. Bompard, for example. Regarding Jean-Luc Mélenchon, whose presence is considered too cumbersome by the other left-wing parties, the LFI coordinator asks: “Can you tell us if your request is that he shut up, leave Nupes, disappear, or receive a mandate as an organized spokesperson? »
