The leaders of the New Popular Front, Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Olivier Faure, announced on Sunday that they would withdraw their candidacies in the constituencies where they came in third place and where there is a risk of victory for the French far right.
“Our strategy is clear: not one more vote, not one more deputy from the National Union,” said Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the far-left France Insubmissa movement, which forms the New Popular Front with the Socialist Communists and environmentalists, in an initial reaction to the forecasts for the outcome of the French legislative elections.
Olivier Faure, leader of the French Socialist Party, has also promised to withdraw his candidates if there is a risk of defeating the National Union of (far-right) Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella.
