Olivier Faure proposed to decide between Hughette Bello and Laurence Tubiana by vote.
The battle of the perch delayed the battle for Matignon for several hours.
The battle for Matignon was viewed essentially through the prism of the left and tensions within the New Popular Front, together coming into the second legislative election but, since then, we have not been able to agree on a name. It was a great disappointment to vote for this coalition at the elections.
“It’s promise time”
And on this Thursday back at the National Assembly, there is no real progress in this regard. However, a significant fact: Laurence Tubiana, who was considered part of the New Popular Front for the position of Prime Minister, spoke this Thursday, July 18 in an interview with Agence France-Presse.
“I don’t want anything, but it’s time for commitment and it suits me” first trying to clarify the 73-year-old academic, who came from civil society in his capacity as a diplomat and economist.
Too “Macron-friendly”?
Then she said: “When there’s a political crisis, we have to respond to it. We need someone on the left, if it’s me I’ll do it.”who has the merit of clarity on his own mind.
The opportunity to recall if his name and, therefore, from now on, his candidacy, receives support from the Socialist Party, the environmentalists and the Communist Party, this is not the case for the Insoumis who refute it. Too moderate, or too much “Macron-compatible”, according to the versions heard from La France insoumise. She claims that it is “I refused three or four times to join the government under Emmanuel Macron, because I did not agree with his policy”.
Tubiana does not want to implement pension reform
In this interview, Laurence Tubiana nevertheless declared that his “compass” would remain “the program of the New Popular Front”. By pleading in particular for the repeal of the immigration law, or for a “relaunch of social dialogue on wages”.
Regarding the pension reform: “We must repeal the reform, freeze it, whatever we want, but we do not implement it” she said.
Faure wants a vote, not Panot
Having said that, it was Olivier Faure who suggested his solution on Thursday morning on BFMTV/RMC: “When we can’t go forward, democracy has a fairly simple way to decide between candidates: it’s the vote. And no one should go on. be afraid of democracy,” he said. And to recommend that a decision be made between the two “possible” applications that have been “put on the table”. Or those of Hughette Bello (proposed by the communist Fabien Roussel and supported by LFI), and Laurence Tubiana.
But this Thursday, the leader of the deputies of the LFI Mathilde Panot reiterated that she was against a vote of this kind.
