Stéphane Le Foll plays the seers.
The former minister and member of the Socialist Party, opposed to the union of the left (Nupes) under the aegis of the leader of La France insoumise Jean-Luc Mélenchon, predicted Sunday "serious heartbreaks" within this coalition.
"I'm betting that this alliance will experience, at one time or another, serious heartbreaks because there is nothing very coherent between the positions of each other", struck Stéphane Le Foll on the set. from France 2.
The mayor of Le Mans (Sarthe) opposed the agreement between La France insoumise, the Socialist Party, Europe Ecologie-Les Verts and the Communist Party to present joint candidates in the legislative ballot.
He had at the same time refused to leave the leadership of the PS, saying he wanted to "refound" the left.
NATO and Ukraine sources of division on the left
Le Foll cited the position on NATO and the war in Ukraine, or even the debate on retirement at 60 as possible points of divergence between the different mobilities of Nupes.
The left-wing alliance made a spectacular breakthrough in the first round of legislative elections on Sunday, allowing it to rival in number of votes with Together!, the coalition aiming to give Emmanuel Macron a majority in the National Assembly.
