650 measures for a legislature under the banner of Nupes:
Ask for the program!
Eyes fixed on the legislative elections of June 12 and 19, in France, the New popular ecological and social union, presented, on May 19, what would be the roadmap of a government of cohabitation led by the Prime Minister Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of La France insoumise.
From the increase in the minimum wage to 1500 euros net per month to retirement at 60, through the freezing of certain prices, an ecological transition that creates jobs or the strengthening of public services..., the French left has agreed on 617 of the 650 measures of this program.
The rest would be at the discretion of future deputies.
"
Nearly fifty years after the signing of the
" common program of the left "
, on July 12, 1972
", here is his "
shared
" program, rejoices
Liberation
.
This means that, if some disagreements persist between rebels, socialists, communists and ecologists on such and such points of this "shared" program, the objective is clear, underlines the communist daily
L'Humanité
: "
to grow the popular movement , to defeat the right and the extreme right, and turn hope into reality within reach of the vote
”.
Rififi within the right
The president of the parliamentary group Les Républicains in the National Assembly, Damien Abad, is on leave from this party in the midst of turmoil after the rout of its candidate, Valérie Pécresse, in the presidential election last month.
The boss of the Les Républicains deputies announces in
Le Figaro
that he is leaving the presidency of the LR group in the National Assembly.
Damien Abad also says he is “
on leave
” from LR.
In
Le Figaro
, Damien Abad claims to remain "
a right-wing man
", but he adds that he no longer recognizes himself "
in the LR approach
".
The rupture thus recorded between Damien Abad and Les Républicains.
Le Figaro
deplores "
a spectacular reversal which can only harm the right
".
Because this daily fears the gaze of “
those who say they are on the right and who no longer believe in LR, in particular those who followed Éric Zemmour
”.
For them, deplores
Le Figaro
, this "
passage to the West
" by Damien Abad "
will feed the trial against a right more inclined to betrayal than to the defense of its convictions
".
Member of Parliament and nephew of François Mitterrand, Jérôme Lambert has lived for 20 years in Parisian social housing at very low rent
It was the
Mediapart
site that revealed it.
According to this online newspaper, Jérôme Lambert has lived since 1997 in “
Parisian accommodation of 95 m²
” for rent half the market price.
Joined by Mediapart, Jérôme Lambert confirms that he has lived in this apartment for more than twenty years, assures that he intends to leave it in June, and judges that there is "
nothing morally shocking
" in his situation.
Not invested by the Socialist Party and rejected by the left alliance around Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Jérôme Lambert is a dissident candidate for his re-election in the legislative elections in Charente (south-west of France).

We all have the same history, but not the same memory
”, says Omar Sy to
Parisian

in France today, in the current context, remembering that can help us build something more peaceful in the future
