In an exclusive interview, New Popular Front leader and leftwing candidate for PM says she is talking to centrists and willing to rein in proposals on taxes and pensions
The French left’s candidate to be prime minister has insisted the alliance is willing to compromise on a programme that includes rolling back pension reforms and tax rises for the “ultra rich” if allowed to govern.
In her first formal interview with a non-French paper, Lucie Castets, representing the New Popular Front (NFP), said she had been exploring “red lines” with opponents across the political spectrum except the far right.
