Relations continue to be strained among the Insoumis.
Deputy Alexis Corbière, one of Jean-Luc Mélenchon's main lieutenants, said on Friday that he was in "radical disagreement" with the composition of the new leadership of his party, which according to him lacks "consensus", in an interview with Le Monde. .
"I have a radical disagreement with the result, the consequence of a process that does not play a collective role, does not associate activists enough and does not integrate the different sensibilities of our movement which are embodied in certain personalities", declares Mr. Corbiere.
“It prevents us from reaching a consensus,” he adds.
Deploring an “unsatisfactory situation”, the deputy for Seine-Saint-Denis calls for more “social parity” in this direction, of which “eighteen of its twenty-one members are now parliamentarians”.
If he is not a "candidate" to integrate this direction, he pleads for the presence of personalities like François Ruffin and Clémentine Autain, who "say stimulating things, others in which (he) does not (s) e recognize (t)not, and still others, (who) need to find themselves in a thinking management team”.

Contrary to Jean-Luc Mélenchon who considers that the movement does not have to reflect the principles of the Sixth Republic that he wishes to see happen, Alexis Corbière thinks that “there must be a little of the Sixth Republic in there”.
“There is a powerful thirst for democracy in the country, and it obviously also exists in LFI,” he adds.
“For activists, not voting all the time is one thing, never voting is another.

MP Clémentine Autain reacted to AFP: “I share Alexis Corbière's analysis in every way.
I see it as an invitation to get back to work all together to emerge from this crisis with the conviction that it is by consolidating our unity and our plurality that we will be stronger”.
Deputy Manuel Bompard should be appointed in January as head of the coordination announced last Saturday at the Representative Assembly of LFI.

"The only discipline I know in politics is that of consciences, not armies".
