Le PCF notes that “the proposals of France rebellious have not allowed at this time” to find an agreement for the legislative of June, and proposes candidates in addition to their outgoing deputies, on Saturday in a statement sent to AFP.
“After several days of discussion with our partners, we note that the proposals of La France insoumise which has the primary responsibility for allowing this gathering have not allowed at this time” an agreement, writes the national executive committee of the party.
Common negotiations requested
The formation of Fabien Roussel (2.3% in the presidential election) calls for “the holding as soon as possible of a joint meeting of our four political parties which has not yet taken place at this time rather than in separate bilateral meetings”. LFI, dominant following the 22% obtained by Jean-Luc Melenchon, is indeed conducting bilateral negotiations with the PCF, EELV, the PS and the NPA – parties which did not obtain 5%.
The communists want “a coalition of forces without hegemony and a common label which reflects the expression of our diversity, for example the popular union of the left and the ecologists gathered”. They recognize the primacy of the Common Future but would like certain proposals from each of the parties to be taken into account.
The PCF wants to be able to form a group
Finally, they believe that the constituency proposals by LFI do not allow the PCF to form a group. According to them, the agreement must therefore, in addition to their 11 outgoing deputies, allow “personalities recognized for their field commitments” to be invested. They list 14.
For the time being, LFI has only reached an agreement with Generations on Thursday, negotiations continuing with all the other left forces during this weekend. The hypothesis of extensions for next week is getting stronger.
