Eric Coquerel, a deputy of the left-wing party La France insoumise, justifies their refusal to participate in discussions invited by President Emmanuel Macron regarding a future government coalition. Coquerel asserts the importance of not engaging with those who have implemented damaging austerity policies over the past seven years. He stresses that any future talks could happen only if Macron proposes a left-leaning minister aligned with the principles of a new popular front. Coquerel warns that the Socialist Party would risk its identity if it chooses to ally with non-leftist forces.
