It's done, the Socialist Party last night validated the alliance with La France insoumise, by Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
167 votes "
for
", 101 "
against
" (and 24 abstentions)... The National Council of the Socialist Party said "
yes
" to the alliance with La France insoumise, Europe Ecologie les Verts and the Communist Party, with its eyes already fixed on the electoral deadlines of June 12 and 19, those of the legislative elections, in France.
The PS “
opens a new page in its history
”, launches the
Figaro
site .
And even if, as summarized by
Mediapart
, "
some
" see in this agreement "
the last nail in the coffin of Jaurès' party
" while "
others
" see it rather "
the opportunity for a rebirth
"...
… “
the stakes are cast
”, slices the site of the
Parisian
.
Although tight, the game was played rather calmly.
When he took the podium, the first secretary of the PS Olivier Faure was "
calm and convinced (…) those who expected a rat race were disappointed
".
From now on, the leader of rebellious France Jean-Luc Mélenchon has "
the free way
" to organize the Convention of the New Popular Ecological and Social Union intended to launch the unitary campaign for the legislative elections, underlines
Le Parisien
online, this high mass s announcing worthy of a "
third round
of the presidential
election" (it being specified that the said Convention will be held tomorrow afternoon at the Docks d'Aubervilliers, near Paris).
The nerves of the French right raw
And while the left forges this historic alliance, the right is torn apart.
Thus, between the Republicans party and former right-wing president Nicolas Sarkozy, nothing is going well.
Always looking for donations to pay off her debts following her failure in the presidential election, the former candidate of this party, Valérie Pécresse, rejected the check that Nicolas Sarkozy had posted.
According to
Le Parisien
, this check was for "
€
2,000 all round, from Nicolas Sarkozy's bank account... which the Pécresse camp hastened to return to him "during the day" on the pretext that she was not asking for "charity " to the one who had refused to support her.
And participated in "sabotage" his campaign
.
Le Parisien
now evokes “
an irreconcilable right
”, while considering that between Nicolas Sarkozy and Les Républicains has been crossed “
the point of no return
”.
Dancing on a Volcano
The war in Ukraine, with fears of an escalation following the delivery of heavy Western weapons to the Ukrainians who block the front page of
Le Figaro
.
This daily brandishes this morning "
the fear of gears
".
Because, as this newspaper fears, "
the heavy artillery provided to the Ukrainians will allow them to challenge the Russian army on their favorite terrain
", the White House having, according to this newspaper, "
insidiously gone from the desire to help Ukrainians to 'punish' the Russians".
"Leaking ahead (which) brings NATO closer to co-belligerence, which is supposed to remain a red line
", warns
Le Figaro
.
The Parisian serial scorer
Kylian Mbappé who will stay at Paris-Saint Germain, it's almost done.
According to
Le Parisien
, Kylian Mbappé “
will extend to PSG
”.
The conditions of the contract to be offered to him are "
stratospheric
", reports this newspaper, "
net annual salary of 50 million euros (the largest in history), a loyalty bonus (an elegant way of evoking the bonus at signature) of 100 million euros (again net) and a two-year contract plus an additional year
".
