The representative assembly of rebellious France (LFI)? “I don’t know. I have no information, we are the day before for the next day, I find it a little rider, to say it kindly,” regrets the deputy (LFI) of Seine-Saint-Denis Clémentine Autain , Friday December 9. “Unlike you, I am not lucky to be invited,” replied an elected representative of LFI, the day before. “But where is it? No one knows, is it clandestine?” Asks another.

Two days before the event scheduled for Saturday December 10 in Paris, most LFI deputies were not invited. They discovered, Thursday, December 8 in the evening, the announcements made by the deputy of Bouches-du-Rhône Manuel Bompard at the Agency France-Presse on the reorganization of the party: he himself will become coordinator of the movement, François Ruffin and D “Other” rebellious “heavy goods vehicles will be out of the operational management, but invited to a” political council “.

Regarding this national coordination body, potentially called upon to meet every six weeks, Clémentine Autain believes that it is “a TheDoule committee created in extremis to try to hide the lack of pluralism in the direction” . “That there is, in coordination, neither Ruffin, nor Autain, Nor Corbière, nor Coquerel? It is almost a purge”, estimates the head of the delegation “rebellious” in the European Parliament, Leïla Chaibi. “LFI purge is confirmed,” adds a deputy. François Ruffin, Clémentine Autain, Alexis Corbière, Eric Coquerel, deputies and party figures, were not in the previous “coordination”, but it had been supplanted as a decision by the meeting of the parliamentary group. All the subject of the company reform was therefore to create a new structure for a movement in growth crisis.

risk of internal dispute

Manuel Bompard ensures “the will that all the identified figures are represented”. But, he explains, among these great figures, “nobody proposed on a pole or a sector of the movement, they sometimes mentioned ideas, but did not register in the process of taking charge of tasks “. Recalals will appreciate. The management defends in any case the idea of ​​a misunderstanding linked to the fact that LFI is a movement, not a party, and that being a figure of weight is not a sufficient argument to sit in the direction if it does not is not to do something concrete. The argument is not always well received. “We have the impression that, for some, we have built criteria to exclude them, and, for others on the contrary, we found them tasks,” said Leïla Chaibi.
