“We can and will beat Emmanuel Macron and we can do it with a majority to govern for a radical programme,” LFI legislator Adrien Quatennens told Franceinfo radio. A source in the Socialist Party said that there is agreement on who will run in what constituency and on overall strategy, but that negotiators still need to finalise details of the joint programme itself.
Socialist Party veterans, including former party leader Jean-Christophe Cambadelis, have already called on fellow members to block the deal, saying it could mark the end of a pro-EU force on the left.
