"Will insubordinate France be the framework, or will it support a broader framework? Its coordinator Adrien Quatennens questioned on Wednesday the role played by the movement, today "useful fulcrum", during the presidential election of 2022.

Asked by journalists about the future of the LFI brand after failed Europeans (6.3%), three years from the presidential election, he explained, quoting the former right-hand man of Jean-Luc Mélenchon François Delapierre: " It is necessary to design objects adapted to the situation and to constantly reevaluate them, "to be able" to break them ourselves and to rebuild others ".

"This does not bode well for LFI", currently a "useful fulcrum for the involvement of the people in politics" that "we intend to improve," said Quatennens. But "it would be unreasonable to say that we know in advance," said the northern MP, before questioning: for the presidential election, "will LFI be the framework, or will it support? a broader framework?

Without further specifying, he was not referring to possible agreements at the summit with other leftist formations, which the Rogue have always refused to consider.

After several months of internal tensions, peppered by the departure of several executives criticizing the lack of internal democracy of the movement, Adrien Quatennens touted the changes proposed by the management in June. "The organization's priority is not to make everyone feel good about it, but to make it a fighting tool," he said.

"Even in the state we are in today, if in a week the presidential election is coming, everyone would be immediately in line," he added.
