The second part will fill up less than the first. After the refusal of the Socialist Party, La France insoumise announced this Tuesday that it will not go, on November 17, to the new meeting of party leaders proposed by Emmanuel Macron.
“We reject the multiplication of these monarchical exercises aimed at circumventing the debate organized in its constitutional forms (…) This is why we will not participate in this new communication exercise. We will continue to bring our proposals to Parliament,” writes the radical left party in a press release.
“We observe that the President of the Republic’s work on a possible reform of the referendum gives pride of place to the proposals of the right and the extreme right but rules out any possibility of consulting the French on pension reform,” also notes LFI.
An absence that is not a surprise
After Olivier Faure, it is Manuel Bompard who will be missing on November 17. The decision of the coordinator of La France insoumise is not surprising: after the first marathon exercise of the “Saint-Denis meetings” at the end of August, he was very skeptical about future participation in an exercise of the same type.
What about the other two left-wing parties? On the side of the ecologists, an official response will be given in the coming hours, but the entourage of the party leader, Marine Tondelier, stressed on Monday that her presence would make it possible to discuss environmental and social justice issues, and to push for a ceasefire in Gaza.
As for the French Communist Party, its national secretary, Fabien Roussel, has not yet given his response.
