Legislative 2022 live: Carole Delga denounces the PS-LFI agreement, Anne Hidalgo is opposed to it but “does not wish to prevent it”… Follow the reactions on the left live before the vote this evening – Le Monde

PS-LFI agreement for the legislative elections: Anne Hidalgo explains why she is against it but “does not wish to prevent it” If Anne Hidalgo criticizes the agreement for the legislative elections between La France insoumise and the Socialist Party, disrespectful “of people” and who “Does not carry the necessary guarantees” on several themes, she “does not wish to prevent” her approval Thursday evening by the national council of her party, she told Agence France-Presse (AFP). “The agreement proposed by LFI and Jean-Luc Mélenchon does not provide the necessary guarantees on subjects as essential as NATO, European defense, secularism and universal values”, deplores the unfortunate candidate of the PS to the presidential election, in a written statement. In addition, according to her, “this agreement is not made with respect for people, nor with respect for the elected representatives established in the territories, who nevertheless carry political and citizen commitments firmly anchored on the left”. The city councilor of Paris takes as an example a relative, “the young deputy Lamia El Aaraje from the constituency of the 20th arrondissement of Paris, even though she had won it a year ago at the ballot box”. The PS did not win in this constituency, because LFI considered that the election of Mrs. El Aarage having been invalidated in January, she was not really outgoing. It is the “rebellious” Danielle Simonnet who will therefore be the candidate of the “New Popular Ecological and Social Union” (Nupes) in the 15th district of the capital. Affirming that she does not “accept this injustice, which must be repaired”, Anne Hidalgo assures that she “will be [aux] sides [de Lamia El Aaraje] “, without specifying if she encourages him to present a dissident candidacy. However, “I hear the aspiration of the people of the left to a rally to oppose social setbacks and to bring ecological and social hope”, writes Ms. Hidalgo. Faced with “the democratic, social and ecological emergency”, “I do not wish to prevent an electoral agreement which aims to combat ecological and social regression”, she explains, adding: “The more there will be deputies from the left , the more the French are defended, the more their voice will be heard. But, according to her, “a reconstruction of the left is essential”, but, she specifies, “far from populist temptations”.
