THE ESSENTIAL
On June 12 and 19, the French men and women will elect the 577 deputies of the National Assembly.
And, be careful, if you are not registered on the electoral lists, the last day to apply online was… this Wednesday.
The main left-wing parties signed a historic agreement on Wednesday to present single candidates under the banner "New popular ecological and social union".
The Socialist Party will submit to its internal parliament this evening this agreement with La France insoumise at a time when the party threatens to explode, several figures rejecting the alliance.
Bernard Cazeneuve, among others, announced to leave the PS, saying "in disagreement with the alliance made with the party of Jean-Luc Mélenchon".

8:30 a.m.: The slingshot
The socialist leadership is also facing the revolt of party figures, who have already been critical in recent years but let their anger burst as the agreement took shape.
Nothing less than the president of the socialist group in the Assembly, Valérie Rabault, let it be known internally that she would not support the agreement.
François Hollande has thus "challenged the agreement on the substance and the constituencies", while his former Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve has announced that he will carry out his threat by leaving the party.

But three outgoing were sacrificed: David Habib in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Christian Hutin in the North and Michèle Victory in the Ardèche.
To which is added the 1st constituency in the Loire of Régis Juanico (Generations), which the PS thought of recovering.

"It's going to be a titanic battle because I hear what can be said, I hear the anger that can be provoked in particular on the distribution of constituencies", released the spokesman of the PS Pierre Jouvet, chief negotiator of the agreement, on France Info.
