Jean-Luc Mélenchon proposed Monday that the New Popular, Ecological and Social Union constitutes a single group in the National Assembly.
Such a proposal would allow Nupes to assert its status as the first opposition to Emmanuel Macron, especially in the face of the historic breakthrough of the RN in the legislative elections.
"The New Popular Ecological and Social Union should form a single group" in the National Assembly, "proposed" Monday Jean-Luc Mélenchon, worried that the obtaining of 89 deputies by the RN calls into question its "status" of first opposition to Emmanuel Macron.
"As soon as there is a single group, without any possible discussion the opposition would be called Nupes", he estimated in front of the headquarters of La France insoumise in Paris.
He justified this proposal: "No one had seen this situation happen".
He does not wish, he added, "to give the impression that we are amplifying the confusion" "by our own scattering".
