after the failure of censorship, tensions between the PS and LFI rise a notch | EUROtoday

“Not even bad. » This is how Luc Broussy, leader of the Socialist Party (PS), describes the impact of the reprisals planned by La France insoumise (LFI) against those who do not vote for a motion of censure against François Bayrou. Thursday January 16, apart from eight of them, the socialists did not vote on the motion of censure tabled by LFI, the communists and the Ecologists, and rejected by the National Assembly.

Behind the scenes, socialist leaders admit that they anticipated a lot worse.

According to an iconoclastic comparability by Pierre Jouvet, normal secretary of the social gathering, “ the breakup of the NFP is a bit like the death of Michel Drucker… We have announced it so many times.” Marine Tondelier, chief of environmentalists, believes that “if we want the NFP to explode, it will explode, but if we want to play it down, we will overcome”.
