Discussions within the New Popular Front (NFP) to nominate a candidate for the post of Prime Minister still seemed blocked on Friday evening, while the presidential camp displayed its divisions in the battle that was taking place. ;rsquo;opens at the Palais Bourbon.

Discussions stalled on the left between the two main components of the NFP, La France insoumise (LFI) and the Socialist Party (PS), who are vying for the candidacy for Matignon.

Fabien Roussel shows his card

According to Le Monde, LFI first proposed, on Thursday, a list of four names, including that of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who nevertheless acts as a foil within the very heart of the group. left alliance.

The PS was still pushing, on the other hand, a candidacy from its first secretary Olivier Faure. The national secretary of the PCF, Fabien Roussel, then played a new role, proposing the president of the Regional Council of Reunion, Huguette Bello.

"A personality like Huguette Bello, who presides over a Region, who knew how to work with others in the diversity of opinions, would have this ability to build majorities, to speak with the President of the Republic, whom she knows well", argued Fabien Roussel.

This would "unify everyone", he added, before his proposal was endorsed, at LFI, by Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Manuel Bompard. The approach of the next legislature at the Palais Bourbon, which will begin next Thursday at 3 p.m., increases the pressure on the NFP.

The Attal scenario On July 18, the President of the Assembly will be elected and speculation is rife about a resignation from the government the day before, in order to to allow the 17 ministers re-elected as deputies to take part in this vote and seek possible responsibilities.

"Disastrous image"

Gérald Darmanin does not lose his temper. This unique candidacy of Gabriel Attal to take the lead of the Renaissance deputies "in no way resolves the two major problems"  of the group , what are "the political line" and "the functioning of the party&quot ;, denounced the Minister of the Interior in a message also addressed to the deputies.

"The image we have given in recent days is disastrous", deplored Friday, Emmanuel Macron , during a meeting at the Élysée in the presence, in particular, of Gabriel Attal, Gérald Darmanin and ÉlisabethBorne.

"You will be swept away"

"If you start the 2027 campaign now, you will be swept aside, he warned. The Head of State calls on his troops to play collectively, mobilizing for the battle for the Assembly’s perch.
