Calls to the Union of the Left flourish two years from the presidential electionbut another deadline is more discreetly prepared. In staffs and in all cities, the municipal elections of 2026 are in all heads. While many argue for local agreements, on a case -by -case basis, with perimeters of union which could vary, the rebellious, themselves, prefer a national agreement. According to our information, the movement’s management has offered environmentalists an agreement that would leave the Greens with the head of the list everywhere in exchange for their support for Montpellier, Toulouse and Roubaix.
For months, rebellious executives, who want to contain the socialists, have not hidden their will to seal alliances with Navy. « Paul Vannier (the LFI election manager, note) told the ecologists that if they refused, there would be lists against them ”, tells a rebellious. Problem: the internal rules of environmentalists stipulate that municipal strategies must be decided at the local level.
According to our information, the environmental direction would think of voting a suspension of their regulation, which would allow them to conduct discussions with their left -wing counterparts at the national level. « In Congress, we said that we would locally seek the widest possible unions and we work at a motion that declines that, Do we answer in management. There is no question of changing rules, discussions will be made with regional secretaries. ” « We will propose to mandate the management to make the negotiations and according to the result of the negotiations we would suspend the regulations », However, explains an internal source among Ecologists. Nothing indicates at this stage that this suspension would lead to an alliance with the rebellious. Agreement which would lead to a confrontation with the socialists even though a rally application is at stake for the presidential election.
