This weekend was marked in France by the birth of the “New popular ecological and social union” (Nupes) led by the rebellious France of Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

An alliance resulting from the agreement concluded a few days earlier with several left-wing forces, and in particular the Socialist Party.

Comments (and criticisms) are rife about such an alliance: will the PS come out a winner?

What does this agreement say about socialist ideology today?

And what future after the legislative elections?
