Sunday saw a surprise victory for the New Popular Front — an alliance of communists, environmentalists, and socialists led by radical Jean-Luc Mélenchon — in the second round of legislative elections after they formed a pact with Macron to prevent the populist anti-mass migration National Rally party from securing a majority in the parliament.
Following the stunning results for the New Popular Front, longtime leftist leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon demanded that the president either “appoint a prime minister from our ranks” or resign.
There has been widespread concern in France, and elsewhere, that the snap elections called by Macron could result in Mélenchon becoming the prime minister, which many would find untenable due to his radical socialist policies and his history of cosying up to radical Islamist elements and downplaying the rising antisemitism in France.
The leader of La France Insoumise (LFI) — the largest faction within the New Popular Front — Mathilde Panot argued on Monday that Mélenchon should “absolutely not be disqualified” from consideration for being installed in the Hôtel Matignon as PM.
