Between Gérald Darmanin and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the Council of State has decided. The highest French administrative court ordered, Tuesday, June 7, the Minister of the Interior to take into consideration the New popular ecological and social union (Nupes) as “a political nuance in its own right” during the legislative elections of 12 and 19 June. Referred to in summary proceedings by the leader of rebellious France, the Council of State explains in a press release that “counting the political parties of this coalition separately can undermine the sincerity of the presentation of the electoral results”. Gérald Darmanin had decided “not to bring together, under a single nuance, the political parties having created the coalition” resulting from the agreement between LFI, the PS, EELV and the PCF, recalled the Council of State. >> To read also – Legislative : the Nupes denounces obstacles in the registration of its candidates The judge in chambers therefore estimated that the color chart put in place by the Minister of the Interior would group under the label Together! the results of the presidential majority, while environmental candidates invested by Nupes, for example, would be “recognized under another nuance with other environmental movements not belonging” to the alliance.
