First meeting between La France insoumise and the Socialist Party this Wednesday

A first meeting between La France insoumise and the Socialist Party is to take place on Wednesday to discuss a possible agreement for the legislative elections of June 12 and 19, AFP learned from the two parties.

While LFI has already started discussions with Europe Ecologie Les Verts, the Communist Party and the NPA, the formation of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who came third in the presidential election with nearly 22% of the vote, had initially time showed reluctance to discuss with the PS, whose candidate Anne Hidalgo collected only 1.7% of the vote.

A first meeting date has been scheduled for Wednesday, Manuel Bompard, head of negotiators for LFI, told AFP. “A first step that we welcome,” confirmed Pierre Jouvet, in charge of negotiations within the PS.
