The four main parties – LFI, PS, PCF, EELV – of the New People’s Ecological and Social Union (Nupes) announced on Tuesday August 29 in a joint press release that they would surrender without “illusion” on Wednesday at the invitation of ‘Emmanuel Macron to political formations, whose objective is to “bring proposals in the interest of the people”.
The Head of State must receive the parties represented in Parliament in Saint-Denis, in order to build “together” legislative texts and to open the way, “if necessary”, to referendums.
The program provides for an afternoon of work and then a dinner, in which the Nupes will not participate, not understanding “what it would bring to our fellow citizens” explains the Nupes in its press release, signed by the four party leaders: Manuel Bompard for La France insoumise, Olivier Faure for the Socialist Party, Fabien Roussel for the French Communist Party and Marine Tondelier for Europe Ecologie-Les Verts. “We do not want to participate again in a media staging”, they report again, in response to this invitation, whose terms used by Emmanuel Macron leave them “stunned”.
” We think not (…). We don’t see them.”
“You write there that for a year you have been carrying out “a policy of independence and justice”. We think not. You indicate that you have “know how to forge useful compromises” and have put in place “concrete solutions for our school or our health”. We don’t see them,” criticize the main parties. “Let’s be frank: given the content of your policy and the terms of your invitation, we have no illusions about your objectives,” they wrote again, saying they were “accustomed” to his “one-shot communication operations and without effect”.
The Nupes will include proposals on the difficulties of recruitment in national education, the increase in the price of school supplies, the cost of student life, the price of electricity, fuel and inflation on food products .
Finally, the left-wing parties are calling for a referendum on pension reform, “the only referendum project that French people are waiting for”, according to them.
