00:00 A group of demonstrators has come here with a very clear message,
00:03 chanting that anti-Semitism is unacceptable.
00:07 And they're here to protest against the negotiations
00:10 taking place here between the Socialist Party and France En Barde.
00:14 They say that Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon and the radical left
00:17 hasn't been doing enough to fight anti-Semitism.
00:20 And on the other side of here,
00:23 where you have behind these police forces,
00:25 where you've got pro-Palestinian demonstrators,
00:28 a bit of tension in the air here, all of this,
00:31 while in the headquarters of the Green Party,
00:34 you've got negotiations taking place,
00:36 tough negotiations all day between the different left-wing parties,
00:42 making up the new popular front, this coalition,
00:45 this left-wing bloc that wants to stand united
00:48 in the coming legislative elections.
00:51 And those participants we spoke to have told us
00:55 that one of the sticking points, one of the problems between the parties
01:00 was the 577 constituencies in France,
01:04 who would be standing in each one of them,
01:06 because they're trying to present one single candidate
01:09 representing the left in each constituency.
01:13 But some are more winnable than others, if you will,
01:16 and therefore that will determine the balance of power in the left-wing
01:22 and which party is more powerful than the other.
01:25 We know that if the left-wing wins the legislative elections,
01:28 the Prime Minister would be picked from the party with the most MPs.
01:33 Okay, Clovis Casali talking us...
