As a desire to avoid a separation on bad terms. There is “no point of no return” which would prevent the left-wing Nupes coalition from surviving within the Assembly, successively assured the LFI and environmentalist deputies on Tuesday, in reaction to a sentence from Jean-Luc Mélenchon already seeming to turn the page.

“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,” said the head of the rebellious deputies Mathilde Panot, during the weekly press briefing of his group in the Assembly.

Divergences around the qualification of Hamas

“We ask that a certain number of things be clarified. 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”.

In a blog post on Sunday, after a series of criticisms aimed at the PS, Jean-Luc Mélenchon believes that “it has become clear that the point of no return has been crossed. The LFI bases therefore know that they must do without the deputies they elected a year ago.”

Next motion of censure from the left

During their group’s press briefing, environmentalists assured that there is “no point of no return”. “We believe in it for two, three or four,” said Benjamin Lucas (Génération-s, environmental group). “We are not going to comment on blog posts, tweets, sentences every week. We think that we need a moratorium perhaps on small phrases and invectives, a suspension of arrests via social networks, that we talk to each other, that we work,” he added.

The environmentalist deputies assured that they would all sign together the next motion of censure from 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 PS opted for a “moratorium” on its participation in Nupes a week ago.

This Tuesday morning in the Assembly, there was no meeting of the Nupes intergroup.
