Olivier Faure, the first secretary of the Socialist Party, has emphasized the urgency of a left-wing alliance to prevent the rise of the extreme right in case of a dissolution of the National Assembly. He has suggested that La France Insoumise (LFI) could be a potential electoral partner in certain constituencies to achieve this goal.

He has predicted that the mobilizations planned for September 10 and 18 will be significant.
