Lucie Castets Withdraws Amid NFP Tensions Over Isère By-Election

Disagreements within the Nouveau Front Populaire complicate the search for a unified candidate to fill the Isère seat.

Lucie Castets has decided not to run in the Isère by-election due to unresolved conditions regarding her potential parliamentary group affiliation.
The NFP's internal conflicts intensified as parties struggled to agree on a single candidate, risking further division among the left.
The Socialist Party has put forward Amandine Germain as their candidate, despite NFP's prior agreement on constituency allocations.
The LFI, whose former member Hugo Prevost vacated the Isère seat, insists any NFP candidate must join their parliamentary group.
Similar tensions are evident in the Hauts-de-Seine, where local Socialist nominations have raised concerns about the NFP's unity.
