Le Monde – Matignon: Premieres Consultations, Sans Issue
Le Monde says The staging was impeccable. Introduced into the gardens of the Elysée Palace through the discreet entrance on Avenue Gabriel shortly before 10:30 a.m. on Friday, August 23, the delegation of the New Popular Front (NFP) silently and gravely made their way up the gravel path winding between the groves and leading to the château.
Senior civil servant Lucie Castets and a dozen representatives of the left-wing parties – La France Insoumise (LFI), the Socialist Party (PS), Europe Ecologie-Les Verts (EELV) and the French Communist Party (PCF) – were led to the first floor, where the head of state was waiting for them.
