Jean-Luc Mélenchon puts on the table the problems of division of the left. While the latter is supposed to unite the different parties of the political spectrum that make it up, the leader of La France insoumise (LFI) accused the Socialist Party (PS) of maintaining “double talk”. Thursday August 17, Jean-Luc Mélenchon wanted to put Olivier Faure in the face of what he considers to be a contradiction. The first secretary of the PS had indeed commented on X (former Twitter), Nicolas Sarkozy’s support for Gérald Darmanin.
“Hostilities on the right have only just begun. To the left and environmentalists not to fall into the deadly spiral of division”. This message from Olivier Faure therefore immediately caused his political counterpart to react: “Incorrigible double talk! Unite by dividing in senatorial and European elections? “, then replied Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
The public attack did not please the socialist leader, who offered the Insoumis leader to discuss in private: “Dear JLM, I still have the same phone and recently sent you a message inviting you to exchange. We can see each other if you want. We can not share the same analyzes without needing to berate each other on Twitter, to the delight of the right and the despair of the left, “quickly replied Olivier Faure.

Since the creation of the New Popular Ecological and Social Union (Nupes) for the legislative elections of 2022, tensions have often been high between the rebels and their socialist, environmentalist and communist allies despite a unity of views on the file of the retreats.
LFI in particular pleaded for a common list in the European elections of 2024, while the Greens and the Communists have already named their leaders for this election.
