Pascal Canfin in Paris, January 14, 2022.

Recalling that the New Popular Front (NFP) is up on July 7, MEP (New) and former director of WWF France Pascal Canfin, representative of the left of macronie, called his camp to open discussions with the left and warns against the temptation to associate only with the Liberals (LR). This alliance reduced to LR will only bring, he said, through “Support Support” of the National Rally (RN).

The head of the country has ordered the establishment of the Olympics. Can we imagine that a new government will rise once the crisis is over, after August 11?

Planning after the Olympic Games requires common sense. We cannot change the government with the challenges, especially the security challenges, that the event represents. But having a new government quickly is fundamental. The French political parties must learn what many of their European colleagues are doing and what has recently been done in the European Parliament by building a coalition around the Council President Ursula von der Leyen, from the EPP (right) to the Hand by the centrists and the socialists.

Can this be imagined in France?

We need a word on the road. In all European democracies with a coalition style, the first party to come out on top in the elections must prove that it is capable of finding a majority in the Assembly. In France, this is NFP.

If the starting point of this coalition is the NFP, is Emmanuel Macron wrong not to accept the decision of Lucie Castets to Matignon?

NFP is not enough on its own. He cannot pretend to rule by saying: “Choose me Matignon and I will make my plan myself.” It never happened like that. But it is up to the NFP to reach out to other political parties to find the majority. The paradox is that this scenario, which is the most natural in all other European democracies, has not yet begun. Maybe it is necessary to go through the nomination of the Prime Minister candidate from the NFP so that the interlocutor can be found? Now, we must create bridges and not build walls with the NFP so that discussions can start properly.

The President’s camp seems to only address the right…

Most of the representatives under the banner of the United for the Republic (EPR) with whom I spoke do not want an exclusive union with the LR. First, for one important reason: the legislative agreement proposed by Laurent Wauquiez is a very right-wing system which does not correspond to the balanced point of the Party. After all, this coalition will not have a majority on its own. It brings together the best 213 representatives. So it can only stand by the tacit support of the National Rally (RN). This would be the exact opposite of the spirit of the Republican front that was put forth during the elections..
