La France insoumise and EELV return to school this Thursday at their respective summer universities near Valence and Grenoble, the former in a position of strength on the left, the latter with the December congress in sight.
The other two components of the New Popular Ecological and Social Union (Nupes), the Socialist Party and the French Communist Party, will inaugurate theirs on Friday in Blois and Strasbourg.
Starting this afternoon during the summer university of the insoumis, a conference will bring together the main negotiators of the left-wing union, in order to remake the film of these historic days and nights in which the LFI, EELV, PCF and PS come together. .
The return of Mélenchon
The “Amphis” also sign the mediatic and political return of Jean-Luc Mélenchon. After speaking with the young rebels on Tuesday, he will give a lecture on Friday night in front of the activists: his “2022 evaluation of the strategy of the citizens’ revolution”
The “debates” with members of the government and the right, a way of affirming that LFI is the first opposition, will also begin on Friday, with the presence of ministers Marlène Schiappa and Clément Beaune.
The ecologists, gathered for their part in the city of Eric Piolle, will be more monopolized by their medium and long-term strategy. In fact, if the official program gives a privileged place to the 23 elected deputies, then to the partners of Nupes and Europe, the spans should whisper with conversations about the December congress.
What future for EELV?
Marine Tondelier, proposed to run for the succession of Julien Bayou at the head of the party, published this weekend a forum in the JDD calling for the EELV to be “refounded” in order to broaden the audience of the Greens, sounded by only 4.6% of its presidential candidate Yannick Jadot. The latter, located to the right of the party, contributed his signature to this proposal.
The party’s left also spoke through the voice of spokesman Alain Coulombel, who urged ecologists not to back down in identity debates and to cultivate openness, especially on the left. A position similar to that of the primary finalist Sandrine Rousseau, who could be represented in Congress by one of her relatives, Mélissa Camara.
The environmentalist pole, made up of EELV and its allies Generations and Generation Ecology, inherited the difficult-to-read result of the 2021 primaries, which in the first round had torn it between four main lines of very similar weight: those of Yannick Jadot, Sandrine Rousseau, Delphine Batho and Eric Piolle.
The speech of the national secretary of the EELV, Julien Bayou, on Thursday night, should give the first clues. Skeptical of LFI’s proposal to renew Nupes for the 2024 Europeans, the Greens have not definitively given up their leadership on the left.
