The spokeswoman for the Lutte Ouvrière party, Nathalie Arthaud, said Saturday that the left alliance Nupes "can not be a perspective", scratching in passing the Communist Party which is no longer "revolutionary". "I do not even know if the Nupes will hold until the next presidential election" in 2027, said the former candidate for the Elysee in an interview with AFP, on the occasion of the annual party party, until Monday in Presles (Val d'Oise).

The union of the left is nothing new. The world of work has already suffered it with Mitterrand who had raised hopes that today the Nupes is far from arousing. At the time these hopes were shattered by Mitterrand's austerity policy," the Trotskyist leader said. Defending "communist and revolutionary perspectives", Nathalie Arthaud considered that her party is "distinguished from other parties of the left". "The Communist Party may still be called communist, but it does not aim to overthrow capitalism. Fabien Roussel (his number one, Editor's note) aims to replace Emmanuel Macron in power, "she teased.

For the next European elections in 2024, Nathalie Arthaud explains that "if we are present", it will be to defend "the world of work" and also "to change, to transform this society that plunges us into crises and leads us to war". Considering the mobilizations against the pension reform as an "important moment", Nathalie Arthaud hopes "hundreds of thousands of people in the street" on June 6 for the next day of action at the call of the inter-union.
Lutte Ouvrière will be mobilized "to say and repeat that our opposition is intact, it does not pass and we do not admit defeat". The National Assembly is due to consider two days later a bill to repeal the reform.
