In recent days, Attal has promoted a hypothetical coalition government. A project that Tondelier and Ruffin are not closing the door on. It seems that this time the institutional left is not even waiting to come to power to start betraying.
While the record number of triangles has put the issue of the dam at the center of the debate, the prospect of a “coalition government” is gaining ground in recent days. In the scenario where the RN does not obtain an absolute majority, Gabriel Attal raised on Monday the possibility of building “a plural assembly” with ” several political groups from the right, from the left, from the center, which project, project by project, is working[eraient] together » to avoid institutional blocking.
On the left, if La France Insoumise, which should represent the first force of the NFP in the semicircle, has for the moment ruled out participating in such a coalition, the story is different among the other components of the “union”, from the PCF to the PS via the EELV. This is how PCF deputy Sébastien Jumel explained on Tuesday: ” There would be an urgent need to create an arc from Social Gaullism to the Communists, passing through left-wing people of good will. »
A hypothesis accepted even by senior figures in NFP. Among them, the national secretary of Europe Ecologie-Les Verts, Marine Tondelier, who the day after the first round and her questioning of Bruno the mayor became the muse of the “republican front” as well as the incarnation of the reasonable face of the NFP. Asked about the possibility of a coalition government during “20:00 on TF1” this Tuesday, she explained “. you will probably have to do things that no one has ever done before ”, while confirming that the decision will depend on “ political process “.
Rebelotte the next day in an interview with Libération, where the head of EELV notes: “ France will certainly experience an unprecedented institutional situation. We will definitely have to innovate » before answering a question about the possibility of a “coalition with the Macronists”: ” there will be no good solution. We will find the least bad and the best for France. But yes, we must show ourselves ready to rule. »
A willingness to accept the hand extended by the presidential camp, which we also found on the side of François Ruffin this Tuesday. Asked about the Grandes Gueules set, the rebellious dissident explains: “There have been great moments in our history that took place with this coalition, especially we can think […] at the liberation, where from the Communists to the Gaullists there was a common government”. And to set three (very meager) conditions for such a government: the re-establishment of the ISF, the establishment of the citizens’ initiative referendum (RIC) and the repeal of the pension reform.
Excursions, after which other figures from the left spoke positively about the scenario of such a coalition government, such as François Hollande, who evoked the possibility of a government based on ” minimal promises, at least for a year, for the country to be governed. » A perspective whose concrete implementation nevertheless seems to be complex, since it would at least involve support from an arc that goes from LFI to LR, on a common program, even minimally.
A policy that is completely scandalous. Having reconnected with the “Republican Front” in the service of Macron’s worst figures, a coalition government, regardless of its articulation, would mean an unprecedented alliance with enemies of workers as dangerous as Macron and LR. Enough to illustrate once again the impasse in the logic of class reconciliation which governs the NFP constitution and which the RN surfs to present itself as an anti-system party by denouncing the left’s compromise with Macron.
While the first round of parliamentary elections once again revealed the depth of the discredit of Macronism, the logic behind the “Republican Front” and even worse of the “National Union” in power with those who compromised with exploitation and oppression is a dangerous dead end , which can only further fuel the dynamism of the extreme right. The betrayals of the institutional “left”, from Mitterrand to Hollande, have been the basis of the RN/FN for the last four decades. This time it seems the left doesn’t even want to wait until it comes to power to start compromising itself. A dangerous policy that must be fought.
