The complaint focuses on the joy spread within the New Popular Front on the left. The French President, Emmanuel Macron, does not want to give that victory the recognition it owes. Every day that passes, the attitude of rejecting the left that should be in government is becoming increasingly apparent. Finally, it emerged from the silence and opened its position in a "letter sent to the French" on 10 July: "No one has won" in the elections to the Basque Parliament, and "only among the Republican forces can an absolute majority be formed," he said. It is clear: He does not know the victory of the New Popular Front on the left, the FHB, and Macron, on his back to the majority on the left, has an alternative majority. "The French have voted in favour of the Republican front, and that is what the political parties have to do," the president said.

Despite the statements of the last few days, it is quite clear that the "republican forces" are included in the extreme left, LFI France Submissive, and the ultra-right RN National Union, all the others. But the LFI party goes inside the New Popular Front, which also has more Members on the front, and the Left should not accept that division.

Macron’s other option is for the Republican right to complement the majority with those of the party, achieving a group of 213 deputies and, therefore, more than 182 with those of the FHB. Gérard Larcher, president of the Senate of the Republican Group, has also made it clear that he is not going to accept a government with the FHB. Macron has made it clear that, until such a majority is reached, the current government will "take a step forward".

The New People’s Front (FHB) has won the legislative elections held this Sunday and becomes the first force with 182 Members. The government's strategy towards the third extreme right-wing party, the RN, is unclear. Officially, Macron's environment is spreading a message to cut the road to the far right, but they're actually holding secret meetings between them and that at least since December. The newspaper Libération, for its part, reported this news on 10 July.

Although the French Constitution does not formally state that this is the case, the position of prime minister is usually assigned to the person holding the parliamentary majority. The letter, however, warns that Macron intends to distinguish himself from that tradition and to appoint a prime minister commensurate with the majority he is going to create.

Response from the left: unity and threats of protest

The left-wing parties reaffirm their commitment to moving the unity of the left forward. These include the Socialist Party, including the Social Democrats: "Since I am secretary of the Socialist Party, I have opted for unity on the left, and I will not change my position. Those seeking to divide the left seek not to rule the left," explained Olivier Fauré. D. D. Jean-Luc Mélenchon of LFI performs the following reading: "Going beyond universal suffrage, we have the return of the king's right of veto."

In case Macron remains in that position, the citizens will respond to him through the protests. The CGT trade union has called to concentrate on 18 July to demand "respect for the results of the votes" and the government of the FHB. He has called for concentration in the Prefecture and in the vicinity of the Basque Parliament. The Paris Olympic Games are scheduled for 26 July and the threat of protests in this context may influence.

The HFHB will report on its representative to the Prime Minister in the coming days. On the part of the FHB no official name has emerged, but in recent days several names have been given – Socialist Olivier Faure, LFI ecologist Clemence Guetté, ecologist Marine Tondelier, the newly separated LFI Clementine Autain or François Ruffin.
