The France Insumisoa party of Jean-Luc Melencesta reached an agreement with the environmentalists Europe Green Ecology on 1 May, on 3 May with the Communist Party and on 4 May with the Socialist Party. So, on the left, they will form a single candidature, opening up the possibility of reaching a majority in the French Parliament.

The Melencesta party was the party with the greatest discrepancies with the Socialist Party, but in the end they managed to reach a ‘agreement of principle’. In addition to talking about a common programme, they have agreed on the distribution accounts of voting districts. The dialogue is continuing and the agreement will be validated by the members of the National Council of the Socialist Party.

Jean-Luc Melenchon was the third in the first round of the elections to the French Presidency, with 21.95% of the votes, just 0.8 points from the Marine Le Pen, the far right. Between the two translations, the need to submit a single application by the left, at the level of Emmanuel Macron or Marine Le Pen, to obtain the majority of the left in Parliament.

Quote: 12-19 June

The elections to the French Parliament were held on 12 and 19 June. So far, Emmanuel Macron's government was also a majority, and the reforms he intended to carry them forward in the last five years.

If the Left Front wins, Jean-Luc Melenchon would be Prime Minister. In the past there have been three cohabitations between Left and Right: between Socialist President François Mitterrand and Jacques Chirac from 1986 to 1989; between Mitterrand and Edouard Balladu from 1993 to 1995; and, finally, between right-wing President Chirac and Lionel Jospin from 1997 to 2002. Once the Left has reached a unity agreement, there is a chance to complete the fourth.
