The new government must implement the New Popular Front's programme, its whole programme, and nothing but its programme, said Manuel Bompard, of the radical-left France Unbowed (LFI), which is the largest party in the left-green NFP alliance.
Mathilde Panot, another LFI deputy, was even clearer. There must be an NFP government based on our programme, she said on Tuesday. No coalition with the centrists or Les Republicains (LR). We are not compatible.
For their part, Macron's centrists have accepted the idea of a broad possible coalition ranging from the moderate-left Socialist party (PS) to LR, acknowledging that a stable government would require compromise and cooperation. They just won't do it with LFI.
I would oppose an NFP-led government and vote in favour of any.
