The government and the Prime Minister have resigned for more than two weeks. And while President Emmanuel Macron is putting off until the end of the Olympic Games to possibly appoint a new head of government, the New Popular Front – which came out on top in the legislative elections – is maintaining pressure for its candidate Lucie Castets to be appointed. After Lille, it was near Orléans, in La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin, that Lucie Castets went in front of microphones and cameras and surrounded by representatives of each party. The senior civil servant visited the French glassworks factory Duralex, and met with employees.

Emmanuel Macron declares a political truce, no matter. The left wants to show itself to French workers and ready to govern.
” Things are moving forward. We are here, we are all together, we are working, we are going to meet people. We are continuing the momentum that was put in us by the voters of the New Popular Front to finally be able to come to power and be able to change people’s lives. ” says Lucie Castets.
The New Popular Front continues to hammer home that the head of state must appoint his candidate to Matignon. And Lucie Castets assures us that compromises would be forthcoming.
” Restoring parliamentary work to its rightful place »
“ The idea is to govern with all those who want to implement our proposals. We will work with all people of good will who share our broad political orientations. Restoring parliamentary work to its rightful place means discussing with people who are not necessarily in favour of the New Popular Front. ” she adds.
To increase its chances, is the left considering a government without a minister from La France Insoumise, as desired? Macronist deputies ?
” I have confidence that the institutions are working, that parliamentarians of different political colours recognise what an election is and its result.retorts Hadrien Clouet, LFI deputy. So I think this is talk, bluster, before the summer. »
In addition to these trips to maintain the pressure, Lucie Castets is also gradually revealing the reforms she would like to implement.
