A year ago, for its first return, the New People’s Ecological and Social Union (Nupes) came out with drums and trumpets and projected itself into the first opposition bloc. The summer universities of La France insoumise (LFI) multiplied the show debates opposing “insubordinates” and representatives of the right or of Macronie. It’s all far away. LFI is no longer the showcase for a democratic debate with its adversaries. Ministers Bruno Le Maire (economy), Sébastien Lecornu (army), Olivia Grégoire (PME) were approached for the LFI “amphis”, in Valence (Drôme), from August 23 to 27. They declined or did not follow up, just like Roland Lescure (industry), invited by ecologists to their summer days, in Le Havre (Seine-Maritime), the same weekend. An announced time, Edouard Philippe gives up going to the return of the Greens, where he was initially to pronounce a word of welcome. The former Prime Minister will welcome a few environmentalists in the morning at City Hall, but will not move.
The invitations made by Europe Ecologie-Les Verts (EELV) and LFI to the rapper Médine at their respective summer universities were the detonator of this series of refusals and last-minute cancellations. The singer is accused of anti-Semitism after posting a tweet in early August calling essayist Rachel Khan, a Jew and granddaughter of deportees, a “resKHANpee”. Monday August 21, two environmental mayors, Jeanne Barseghian in Strasbourg, Pierre Hurmic in Bordeaux, in disagreement with the arrival of the rapper, let it be known that they would sulk the return of their own training. The party is torn in great widths in this affair, between those, like the elected representative of Val-de-Marne Bénédicte Monville, who « accuse[nt] the bourgeois bloc of EELV to give in to the pressures of the reactionary politico-media apparatus”and others, like MEP Karima Delli, for whom the invitation to a “vehicle of the political confusion that raged in the period” is a fault.

” A mistake “
Faced with the magnitude of the “bad buzz”, the executive office debated Monday, August 21 for three quarters of an hour. “We made a mistake”, “We shouldn’t have put him in a medal”, measured some, while others pleaded for EELV to stop apologizing. The majority of members want ” to face “ and maintain. Even the party’s anti-Semitism task force is not advocating cancellation. “We believe that this invitation is a mistake, but to cancel it was to shoot yourself a second shot in the foot”summarizes Nadine Herrati, co-president of this working group which will debate behind closed doors in Le Havre with the rapper. “It’s the last snake that I swallow, my colleagues have been warned, we would like the party to come out of this adolescence, for things to be more bordered”however, deplores the President of the Federal Council.
