Laurence Tubiana at Matignon? Manuel Bompard considers the new PS proposal to be “not serious”

POLITICS – He “ falls off his chair. “The coordinator of France Insoumise Manuel Bompard judged “not serious” the idea of ​​other members of the New Popular Front to propose climate specialist Laurence Tubiana for Matignon because that would “Get the Macronists back in through the window”.

“If this is indeed the profile our partners are working on, I’m falling off my chair,” This is how the number one of the rebellious machine explained, who reproaches Laurence Tubiana for having “signed a platform four days ago in which she called for the formation of a coalition and a common program with the Macronists”.

“The objective is to form a government of the New Popular Front to implement the program of the New Popular Front and certainly not to prepare a coalition with the Macronists”Manuel Bompard insisted again.

Faure ready to ignore LFI’s decision?

The night before, Monday, the PS, the PCF and the Ecologists put forward the name of Laurence Tubiana, a linchpin of the 2015 Paris Agreement and then of the Citizens’ Convention on Climate. But the academic was immediately criticized by the Insoumis, who still cannot digest the rejection of the Huguette Bello hypothesis.

Invited on the France Inter morning show, the First Secretary of the Socialist Party suggested that he had taken note of the reaction of La France Insoumise, without however changing his tune. We are in a discussion, we must go all the way. I do not see why, when we have three political forces out of four, and a majority of NFP parliamentarians who are ready to accept this candidacy, we should consider that the word of one person is binding on all the others.”he explained.

Enough to provoke a new rise in tensions on the left? The Paris MP Sophia Chikirou did not hesitate, Monday evening, a few minutes after the announcement of the Tubiana track, to compare the socialists, long-time adversaries of the radical left, to ” Bedbugs ” which his camp would have difficulty getting rid of. ” You used drastic measures to get rid of it, you believed in it for a while and you resumed a healthy life (left) but in a few weeks, it itches again and it comes out everywhere… ” she wrote.

Guest on France 2, Manuel Bompard explained for his part that France Insoumise did not wish “wasting more time in discussions that are fruitless”to focus on “a joint application” for the presidency of the Assembly on Thursday which is “a decisive step”.

“If the rebels have to give up their right to occupy this position or to propose their candidacy for the presidency of the National Assembly to allow this joint candidacy, we will be ready to do so”he assured.
