For their part, the rebellious executives explain that the PS is too greedy compared to its score in the first round of the presidential election.
As a reminder, Anne Hidalgo collected only 1.7% of the votes cast on the evening of April 10.
The PS too demanding?
Conversely, an agreement was reached with the Communists on Tuesday, after that with Europe Écologie-Les Verts on Monday.
It was validated very largely this afternoon by the national council of the PCF, with the key 50 constituencies, including 16 winnable.
"It's more good news that the Communist Party is joining this new People's Union, with discussions which began several weeks ago and which ended this morning", detailed Manuel Bompard at the microphone of Europe 1. .
The campaign manager of Jean-Luc Mélenchon does not hide his satisfaction, but wishes even better: "Now, I hope that in the next few hours, we will be able to announce the extension of this agreement, to ensure that we can leave all together in the election battle."

For them, this Tuesday, May 3, is the last day to reach an agreement.
May 3 is the anniversary of the victory of the Popular Front in the legislative elections of 1936.
