- 1French Greens and LFI trade blame over Senate seat loss●Les Ecolos et LFI s'accusent mutuellement l'absence d'un troisième siège pour les Français de l'étranger aux sénatoriale
The Ecologist party and La France Insoumise are blaming each other after the left failed to win a third Senate seat representing French citizens abroad. LFI figures, including Danielle Simonnet's ally Bompard, argue the Greens' refusal of a joint EELV-LFI list handed the seat to the right, while the Greens reject that account. The quarrel exposes fresh tensions on the French left after the senatorial elections.
