Debate of the day
The rebellious and the ecologists ended up agreeing last night around the creation of a “New popular ecological and social union”. A historic and exceptional agreement hailed the leaders of the two parties. It is now a question of rallying the socialist and communist parties, that is what the voters want if we are to believe the polls. socialist refuse to run under the melenchonist banner. After failing to come together before the first round of the presidential election, can the left now come together very quickly? Could such a union lead to a victory and therefore to cohabitation?
Conversely, would the failure of a rally mean the death of the French left as predicted by supporters of the union?
