The leaders of the New Popular Front, Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Olivier Faure, announced this Sunday that they would withdraw their candidacies in constituencies in which they finished third 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, also promised to withdraw his candidates if there was a risk of victory against the far-right National Union of Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella.
