“We are part of the campaign, even if we are not in agreement”.
At a press conference, NPA spokesman Philippe Poutou reiterated the party's intention to support leftist Nupe candidates in some constituencies.
“We are going to be part of this campaign as best we can, wherever there are candidacies that correspond precisely to what we think is important today, linked to the social movement, linked to militant left-wing forces, candidacies who have this profile of challenging the capitalist system or challenging liberal ideas,” said Philippe Poutou.
