President of the French Parliament, François Hollande, will be elected this Thursday to be re-elected.
- They are six candidates for the presidency of the French Parliament – one for the left, two for Macron, one for the right, one for the extreme right and one for the independent. In addition, called by dozens of agents, the leftist have a day of mobilizations to demand recognition of the victory of the New Popular Front (FHB).
The vote will begin at 15:00 a.m. to elect the President of the French Parliament. In total, there are six applicants who choose the primary ones and, as there is no absolute majority, it is not known with certainty who will win. The former President, Macronist Yael Braun-Pivet, is re-introducing himself, but the votes of Macron supporters will be fragmented, precisely because Naima Moutchou, from the centrist group Horizons, also competes. The New People’s Front on the left, the FHB, has presented a single candidate, the communist André Chassaigne, and on the right, Republican Philippe Juvin and the ultra-right Sébastien Chenu. He is also a sixth, Charles de Courson, a member of the independent group LIOT – Freedoms, Independence, Overseas Territories – which brings together a number of Members from right to left.
Protests for recognition of the FHB victory
President Emmanuel Macron does not want to acknowledge the victory of the left and, in general, neither the rest of the central or the right parties give clues to the majority of the FHB. Everyone says that they are not going to admit that there is a prime minister and a left-wing government. That is the way things are, both those in the centre and those on the right try to form a higher majority than that of the group of left-wing Members. On that road, some of the Republicans on the right try to form a party group formed by the Ensemble pour la République de Macron (Together for the Republic). Until now it was called Ensemble, the group surrounding Macron, but on 15 July they changed their names and proclaimed supporters of the Joint Republic to distinguish an increasingly isolated Macron and reflect the breadth.
Faced with this political blockade, July 18 is a day of protest for the recognition of the victory of the FHB. Convened by the CGT and assembled by dozens of agents, they have fixed concentrations and mobilisations in front of the prefectures and in the vicinity of the Basque Parliament. In total, the CGT trade union has encrypted in about 80 the protests that have taken place in Vitoria-Gasteiz.
Three months have passed since the elections to the French Parliament. It was July 7, and to everyone's surprise, the New Popular Front on the left, the FHB, won. With the aim of cutting the road to the far right that was successful in the first round, in the second round the... [+]
The sun has risen for the fourth time in the besieged area of the Baiona festivities and I believe that in this northern Basque Country we breathe better, especially because our three Members are from the New People’s Front and we have relegated the third place to the black... [+]
One student told me once we studied a text: “The character is sick: the thought moves in his head.” Obviously, with this phrase, he misplaced the comment he had in his mind, that is, that the imbecility of the character was noticed in his continuous reflections. However,... [+]
At 20:00 hours the first data came out, which has surprised in general: The far-right RN that used to locate all the surveys has been third and the New Popular Front of the Left FHB. The NB, which was seen in the majority or in the absolute majority, has been a slap for the... [+]
