The leader of La France Insoumise, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, threatened to file an appeal to the Council of State in summary proceedings, Tuesday, May 17, so that the new Ecological and Social People’s Union (Nuts), resulting from The agreement between several leftist training courses can be awarded as a political nuance to candidates for the legislative elections.

traveling to Nantes, Jean-Luc Mélenchon criticized the political color chart of the Ministry of the Interior for the elections of June 12 and 19, which presents partial France separately, the Socialist Party, the Ecologists and the French Communist Party . A treatment also applied to the right, the Republicans and the Union of Democrats and Independents (UDI) being distinguished on the form to be filed in the prefecture, despite their political alliance under the same banner in several districts.

Unlike the label, freely selected by the candidate, the political nuance is allocated by the prefecture and the Ministry of the Interior after the filing of application files to the Administration. It is this nuance that will be used to present the results on the evening of the first and second round of the elections, on June 12 and 19.

The NUPS denounces an “electoral tampering”

Jean-Luc Mélenchon denounced, in Nantes, “a system of permanent deception” on the part of the Macronie, aiming “to power, on the evening of the first round, to minore the breakthrough that we will have operated”.

Unlike the whole!, Collective bringing together several training courses close to the presidential majority, the Nuts was not formed in an association to finance the campaigns of the candidates invested: these must thus check their party of origin (La France Insoumise, Socialist Party, Europe Ecologie -les Verts, French Communist Party, generations () when declaring their attachment to benefit from public aid and audiovisual campaign – which includes the distribution of speaking time, in particular, political weight of training.

According to a circular from the ministry dated May 16, the new Ecological and Social People’s Popular Union has not been created, because it “brings together candidates invested independently by the parties associated with this agreement”, which ” tends to demonstrate the will for these candidates to remain attached to their original party “. “These parties present themselves independently, as evidenced by the associations declared in respect of public aid and the audiovisual campaign,” notes the circular.

“It is extremely worrying, we dispute the circular of the Ministry of the Interior”, denounced on Tuesday, Julien Bayou, national secretary of Europe Ecologie-les Verts and candidate in Paris, during a presentation at The press of all the candidates of the Nuts in the capital. He sees it as a “perfectly scandalous maneuver”, targeting “to deceive the rendering of the result of the first round”, since it is this political nuance which serves to analyze the results.
