It was by a tweet published on May 16 that the leader of La France Insoumise (LFI), Jean-Luc Mélenchon, raised the hare. “We discover that the Ministry of the Interior refuses to record the new popular union for candidacy declarations. Erase its opponents from the table of results, is it still democracy? #NUPES”, questions the one who claims to ” Make Matignon “in the legislative elections. In meetings Tuesday, May 17, in Saint-Nazaire (Loire-Atlantique), the deputy of Bouches-du-Rhône, who does not represent himself, again denounced “a system of permanent deception” intended for “power, the evening of First round, mining the breakthrough we will have operated “. “We are going to intervene at the Council of State in summary proceedings to ask that we are recognized in our existence,” he warned.

The antiphon was taken up by the spokespersons of the new popular union Ecology and Social (Nuts) constituted during the legislative elections, which brings together LFI, Europe Ecologie-les Verts (EELV), the Socialist Party ( PS) and the French Communist Party (PCF). During a press conference held Tuesday morning, in Paris, the national secretary of EELV, Julien Bayou, assured that “the prefectures refused the political nuance claimed by our candidates”, while Sophia Chikirou (LFI), in His turn announced that “we are ready to make a summary to obtain their case”.

Finally, in a press release published in the afternoon, the Nuts called “solemnly the Ministry of the Interior to give up its electoral tripotouillage operation”. “The macronist camp has decided to account for separately the votes gathered by applications from LFI, EELV, PS or PCF, she says. This operation aims to artificially weaken the opponents of the Republic on the march (… ). It signs an attempt to privatize the state for political purposes. “

a circular and 18 nuances

At the origin of this “affair”, the circular addressed on May 16 to the prefects by the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, relating to the allocation of nuances to candidates for the legislative elections. It is first of all necessary to distinguish the political label and the political nuance. The label is that which is declared by the candidate, the nuance being attributed by the administration according to a grid established by the Ministry of the Interior, attached to the circular.

This establishes, in this case, eighteen nuances, ranging from “various extreme left” to “various extreme right”. The PCF, LFI, the PS, just like the Radical Left Party, but also, on the right, the Republicans, the Union of Democrats and Independents or, on the far right, the National Rally (RN) or Reconquer! are identified as such. On the other hand, an “environmentalist” nuance groups together EELV, the Union of Democrats and Environmentalists, the new Democrats, the independent environmental alliance, the Citizen-Cap Rally, Generation Ecology, the Animalist Party and “Other parties or candidates environmentalists “. In the same nuance “sovereignist right” are standing France, the patriots and “other parties or candidates of sovereignist sensitivity”.
