Following the censorship of the Barnier authorities, Lucie Castets, candidate in Matignon for the New Popular Front this summer time, thought of it mandatory, on Thursday, “a change of political course”.

“I tell the President of the Republic that we must recognize the results of the elections”she insisted on the sidelines of a visit to Tours (Indre-et-Loire) dedicated to public companies. “I invite him to start from these observations to designate a government from the left, from the New Popular Front”.

Designated by the left-wing alliance of the New Popular Front as candidate for Matignon the day after the legislative elections in July, Lucie Castets ensured this time “don’t make it a personal issue”. “But I think it’s very important to be able to implement measures that will really change people’s lives and propose a different political course”she continued.

Since the censorship of the Barnier authorities on Wednesday, the chief of the LFI deputies, Mathilde Panot, has already confirmed that her group would censor any prime minister who shouldn’t be from the New Popular Front, together with Bernard Cazeneuve.

M^me Castets, nonetheless, estimated “not having the impression that the President of the Republic is really in a logic of construction with the left-wing forces of this country”.

Asked a few potential resignation of Emmanuel Macron, she affirmed that “It’s a decision that’s up to him. But what is certain is that other great figures in French history before him would probably have chosen this option.”
