Jean-Luc Mélenchon Criticizes Socialist Party’s Budget Negotiations with Macron Government
Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of La France insoumise, condemns the Socialist Party’s decision to negotiate with the government led by François Bayrou regarding the 2025 budget. Expressing his disapproval through social media, Mélenchon insists that the negotiations engage only the Socialist Party and not the coalition, Nouveau Front populaire, which includes La France insoumise. He asserts that the coalition was formed to challenge Macron’s policies, not to support them. Olivier Faure of the Socialist Party claims the discussions aim to be constructive but emphasizes the need for significant concessions to avoid compromising their principles.
