Faure calls for a “popular front against the far right”
The first secretary of the socialist party Olivier Faure called on Monday for “the constitution of a popular front against the extreme right” in the early legislative elections of June 30, taking up the proposal launched the day before by the rebellious deputy François Ruffin.
“The far right is no longer simply at the gates of power (but) has got its foot in the door” after its large victory in the European elections on Sunday, estimated Olivier Faure on franceinfo, judging that with less than 15% of the votes “the macronie (is) beyond any capacity to put up a barrier” and that consequently “only the left remains”.
