The day after the launch of the LFI campaign for the European elections, the list led by Manon Aubry remains far behind the RN and Renaissance in the polls.

The fault lies in a lack of union on the left for Manuel Bompard, coordinator of La France insoumise and deputy for Bouches-du-Rhône, who "regrets" at the microphone of the Grand Rendez-vous the refusal of the other parties to make a common list .

On Saturday, France Insoumise launched its campaign for the European elections on June 9 with a first meeting organized in Villepinte, in Seine-Saint-Denis.

With one objective: to launch “after Macron”, as various members of the party chanted, as well as Manon Aubry, head of the LFI list.

But the Insoumis remain far behind in the polls, and know that Jean-Luc Mélenchon's score in the last presidential election (22%) is unattainable.

Currently, the LFI list is given around 7 or 8% in the polls, behind the PS-Place Publique list of Raphaël Glucksmann.

A lack of union of the left which could give the advantage to the RN and Renaissance, criticizes Manuel Bompard.

Guest of the Grand Rendez-vous d'Europe 1/ CNews/ Les Échos, the coordinator of La France insoumise and MP for Bouches-du-Rhône judges the refusal of other left-wing parties to make a common list for the European elections "irresponsible" .
