- Title
Can the French Left Win the Legislative Elections?
- Authors
Marlière, Philippe
- Abstract
Nouveau parti anticapitaliste (NPA), the only anti-capitalist party that was invited to join the coalition, opted out as it refused to be part of a coalition alongside the PS. Mélenchon badly needed the Nupes to avoid being soundly defeated again by Macron's party in the legislative elections (La France insoumise currently has 17 MPs against the 267 MPs belonging to Macron's party). The coalition gathers together the main left-wing parties: the Parti socialiste (PS), Parti communiste français (PCF), Europe écologie les verts (EELV), as well as smaller parties such as Génération.s, Génération écologie, and the Nouveaux démocrates.
