French Socialists, Communists and Greens to ally with Melenchon for a left majority and 'radical programme'
La France Insoumise leader Jean-Luc Melenchon
FRANCE’S Socialist Party reached an agreement in principle today with Jean-Luc Melenchon’s La France Insoumise (France Unbowed) to form an alliance for the legislative elections.
The Communist Party struck a deal with Mr Melenchon last night, and the Greens did so earlier this week, meaning the French left could display its greatest unity in decades as it seeks to win a majority in the National Assembly and make Mr Melenchon, who came a narrow third in the recent presidential election, prime minister.
La France Insoumise MP Adrien Quatennens declared: “We can and will beat [President] Emmanuel Macron and we can do it with a majority to govern for a radical programme.”
