After promising beginnings, discussions between “rebellious” and environmentalists trample and the Communists refuse to base themselves on the results of the first round of the presidential election to distribute the constituencies. On the other hand, the PS surprises with its good will.

Tuesday, Sandra Regol, number two of the ecological party, kept hope. After a “break” in negotiations with rebellious France (LFI), the time to have their framework validated by the “Parliament” of the Party, she assisted, seated in a cafe near the headquarters of Ecology-les Verts (EELV ): “I became optimistic again, when I was no longer yesterday.” A few minutes later, an SMS alerted him to the broadcasting of posters and leaflets bearing the image of “Jean-Luc Mélenchon , Prime Minister “.
