Get out of “the permanent culture of defeat”.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon regrets this Saturday in the

JDD,

that the left-wing parties with which he has entered into negotiations for an agreement in the legislative elections, “Let themselves be absorbed by their internal issues”.

The bilateral negotiations led by LFI – dominant on the left with the 22% of Jean-Luc Mélenchon on April 10 – with EELV, the PS, the PCF and the NPA, all below 5%, have experienced successive accelerations and blockages since then. 10 days.

The deadline set by the protagonists, Sunday, May 7, is approaching.

All is not settled

“We offer them a battle to win.

It's unifying, isn't it?

They have to get out of the

lose

”, and “assume the will to win”, exclaims Jean-Luc Mélenchon in the

Journal du Dimanche

.

He laments: “For some of our partners, winning is a pipe dream.

They have the permanent culture of defeat.

So they let themselves be absorbed by internal issues”.

Thus, “the proximity of the EELV congress and their internal mode of organization complicate the task.

We take part in meetings where they debate among themselves, rather than agreeing with us”, regrets the tribune.

He agrees that “it is not an agreement like any other: it is an agreement on a strategy, on a program and on a collective mode of operation.

Not an electoral grub”.

He says he is “optimistic”: “I think we will find an agreement.

We would like this fixed tomorrow (Sunday).

For the moment, everything floats, everything moves.

I take it casually."

It also refers, in hollow, to the suspension of negotiations by the PS, where certain elected officials and a minority current vilify the search for an agreement with LFI, historical antagonist.

"Similarly, there is a gap between what the Communist delegation tells us and what Fabien Roussel says," says Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
