Left-Wing Alliance in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges Withdraws Without Supporting LFI

The PS-PCF-EELV coalition steps aside for the second round of the municipal election but refuses to merge with leading candidate Louis Boyard's LFI list.

The PS-PCF-EELV coalition, which came third in the first round with 20.7% of the vote, announced its withdrawal to block the right but declined to merge with LFI's leading list.
Negotiations between LFI's Louis Boyard and the left-wing coalition collapsed over disagreements on proportional representation and candidate selection.
The PS cited concerns over a controversial LFI candidate's pro-Hamas comments as a key reason for rejecting the merger, while LFI dismissed this as a pretext.
The PRG, part of the left-wing coalition, also refused to join LFI, citing ideological differences and accusing Boyard of promoting divisive politics.
The lack of a unified left-wing front may hinder Boyard's chances in the second round against a potentially consolidated right-wing bloc.
