Macronists Ready to Ally with Far-Right to Block Left

Published: 2024-07-11

In a surprising turn of events, members of Emmanuel Macron's Renaissance party have announced their readiness to file a motion of censure against any government that includes ministers from the far-left party La France Insoumise (LFI).

This stance comes after the unexpected victory of the New Popular Front (NFP) in recent legislative elections.

Several Renaissance deputies simultaneously declared they would oppose any LFI presence in the government, even in minor roles.

This move marks a significant shift, as Macronists previously criticized LFI for similar alliances with the far-right.

The situation highlights the complex political landscape in France following elections that failed to produce a clear majority in the National Assembly.
